  • RailMiles journey collation system (v3) (www.railmiles.org)
    RailMiles is a journey collation system primarily aimed at rail enthusiasts, but also used by staff, to log their travels primarily across the UK rail network. The system does support the logging of international journeys in a primitive way. An update is currently being written and this will be available, hopefully, by the end of 2011.
  • RailMiles Offline (iTunes store)
    RailMiles Offline is an iOS app that complements RailMiles. It is available for all Premium users and provides another method of inserting journeys as well as the current SMS and E-Mail systems.
  • RailMiles Mileage Engine (mileage.railmiles.org)
    RMME is a distance calculation system for the UK rail network. It holds data that pinpoints most junctions and stations and can calculate a “most direct” route between two points normally in under a second and a half. This system is currently undergoing an upgrade, alongside the journey collation system.
