Live arrivals for your Tube, DLR, Elizabeth line and bus stops
TfL Platforms shows live arrival times for the platforms and bus stops you use most. Save a Tube, DLR or Elizabeth line platform, or a London bus stop and route, and check it at a glance in the app, on a Home Screen widget or as a Live Activity on your Lock Screen.

TfL Platforms has no accounts, no adverts and no tracking. It does not collect your name, contact details or location, and nothing it sends can be linked to you. This page sets out what does leave your device, and why.
Arrival times and line status come from Transport for London's (TfL) open data. The app requests them through our own server, which runs on Cloudflare and passes the request on to TfL. As with any internet request, Cloudflare processes your IP address in order to answer it. We do not keep a record of it or use it to identify you.
The platforms and bus stops you save are stored on your device. If iCloud is switched on for the app, Apple syncs them between your own devices through your iCloud account. We cannot see them.
If you allow it, the app uses your location to centre the station map and, when you switch that setting on, to open your nearest saved platform. Your location is used on your device only. It is never sent to us or to anyone else.
When you start a Live Activity, the app sends our server the platform or bus stop you are following and a token that lets Apple deliver updates to that Live Activity. The token identifies the Live Activity, not you. We delete this when the Live Activity ends, and in any case within 12 hours.
To keep the app reliable, it sends anonymous diagnostics: when the app is opened, brought to the front or put in the background, how long requests to TfL took, whether they failed, and the TfL identifiers of the station and line requested. They contain no names, no location and no device or user identifiers. They are processed by Honeycomb, a monitoring service, on our behalf. You can switch this off in the app under Settings, "Share anonymous diagnostics".
None of them receive your name, contact details or location from the app. This website uses no cookies or analytics.
If the app changes what it sends, this page will be updated and the date above will change.
