Search for a journey, then inspect the train

The rail search leads to results and a booking view. Read the selected journey details before continuing so the ticket you create reflects the departure you intended.

The departure board is another way to browse

Painline also has a live-style departure board and a ticket collection. The times, travel documents and transactions belong to the simulation. They are not a source of real railway information or valid travel tickets.

Try a specific stop

These shortcuts open the actual department or page inside Empty, so you can try the parts described above.

Before you switch on
