Journeycheck for London Overground
 

Have TfL permanently ended Journeycheck for the Overground? My
shortcuts for http://www.journeycheck.com/londonoverground now redirect
to http://www.tfl.gov.uk/ . I welcome the fact that the service updates
on TfL's site now include the Overground but neither that nor the more
detailed inf. there matches what JourneyCheck used to provide.

I know I can use nationalrail.co.uk to see departure/arrival times but I
wondered if I had missed where on TfL's site I could now find the
equivalent.

JourneyCheck for London Overground can still be accessed via the PDA
version of the site:
http://pda.journeycheck.com/londonoverground

In the URL, "jcheck" can be substituted for "journeycheck", and "lo" can
be substituted for "londonoverground", meaning one can also get there via:
http://pda.jcheck.com/lo

There's also a WAP version available via:
http://wap.jcheck.com/londonoverground

(WAP sites won't normally display on standard internet browsers, but
using Firefox one can download the "wmlbrowser" add-on in order to get
WAP sites to work - not that one really needs to do so, mind.)

The TfL site doesn't directly offer 'live departure boards' for London
Overground stations/services, so it's off to nationalrail.co.uk for that
- it does however offer departure boards for Underground stations here
(but I imagine you know that already!):
http://www.tfl.gov.uk/tfl/livetravelnews/departureboards/

To be precise, some LO services do actually feature on the above
departure boards - e.g. check Wembley Central and you can see "BR to
Euston" and "BR to Watford" - a nice anachronism from a previous era...

Where I can see East Putney being even less informative about destinations
than on the actual platforms but with more information of other sorts:

Eastbound - Platform 1 Destination Location Due in
1. District Line At Platform
2. District Line Approaching Southfields 2 mins

thanks for that. (The simplicity of the PDA version reminded me of the
Zen-like clarity of the initial Google.)
