It also takes into account any closures of stations and lines due to engineering works or other incidents, so it will only ever suggest routes you can actually take.

And if you need to be somewhere by a certain time, you can tell it the arrival time, and it will tell you when you need to leave by. You can specify a future time and/or date to get an estimate of how long it will take you. if you’re checking the route between two places for future reference. You can specify a different place to leave from e.g. It will assume you want to leave for your destination from where you currently are right now – but you can customise all of that too. I’ve found the estimated times to be very accurate, assuming an average walking speed and no unforeseen delays of course. It gives you a lot of detail about each aspect of the journey too (how long each stage will take, when the next Tube, bus or train service is arriving, walking directions on the map, which Tube carriage to be on so you can get off right by the station exit etc). walking, cycling, Tube, bus, train, tram, driving your own car, etc. You basically type in where you’re going, and it’ll tell you the quickest ways to get there by various means i.e. I don’t know how accessible it is with things like Voiceover, but from a visual perspective I’m very comfortable with it. And I cannot sing its praises highly enough. Citymapper is an app for iOS and Android that covers a lot of cities worldwide, including Birmingham, Manchester and London in the UK. This is the first thing I use whenever I’m planning a journey.
