Automated Trainline Journey Disruption Alerts

Through the day, WebRun checks Trainline for your team's booked journeys, keeps each one synced to Google Calendar with the correct departure time and platform, and posts a Microsoft Teams alert as soon as a delay, cancellation, or platform change appears.

In short

How do I get alerted when a booked Trainline journey is delayed or changed?

WebRun checks Trainline through the day for your team's booked journeys, keeps each one synced to Google Calendar with the current time and platform, and posts a Microsoft Teams alert the moment a delay, cancellation, or platform change appears. It only reads existing bookings, so a travel coordinator never misses a disruption without watching Trainline directly.

  • Delays and cancellations reach the team within 30 minutes of showing up
  • The shared calendar always reflects the current departure time and platform
  • No ticket is ever booked, changed, or canceled without you

Built for Office travel coordinators · executive assistants · operations teams · small business owners

Questions, answered

Does WebRun book or change train tickets?

No. It only reads journeys that are already booked. Booking, rebooking, and canceling a ticket are always left to you.

Will it alert the whole company for every small update?

No. It only posts to Teams when a delay, cancellation, or platform change is actually detected, so the channel stays quiet on a normal day.

How fast does a disruption reach the calendar?

It rechecks Trainline every 30 minutes, so the calendar and the Teams alert stay close to real time.

Put this on autopilot.
