A new service to enable train passengers to receive rail timetable information on their mobile phones was launched today by Railtrack.

The company announced that 1,000 WAP phone users had registered for the new facility within hours of its launch.

Railtrack has entered into a deal with internet specialist Kizoom to create the new system.

Users can also visit a specially-designed part of the website via a link on the timetable pages to personalise their travel arrangements.
