In short - received a nice letter from Mr Parlour of National Rail Enquiries, asking me to remove my application from the Market as I have been using NRE data without a licence.

There is no commercial earnings on my part - I wrote UKRail for the sole purpose of making rail enquiries on Android a lot simpler and easier for travellers and commuters. As I understand, all the rail enquiries are free to view on the official National Rail website in the first place. Since the information is freely retrievable, shouldn’t the official Android application be free as well? Then there wouldn’t be a need for this app to exist in the first place.

Just my thoughts.

UKRail is a free alternative to the National Rail application in the Android Marketplace.

v1.01 adds:

  • Support for all devices running Android 1.5 or later versions
  • Nicer looking UI, in line with National Rail colours
  • Station input auto-completion
  • More bugfixes and error checks from v1.00
