Tube Check

Tube Check

There's a particular kind of dread that comes with standing on a Tube platform, phone in hand, watching an app try to load a full journey planner just to answer one question: when's the next train?

Tube Check exists to answer that question and nothing else — instantly.

Built on live TfL data, Tube Check gives you real-time countdowns for every line and station across the Underground, the moment you open the app. No route planning wizard, no fare calculator, no clutter. Just open it, glance, go.

Whether you're dashing down the escalator at Oxford Circus or deciding whether you've got time for one more coffee before your platform, Tube Check tells you exactly how many minutes you've got — for every direction, every platform, updated live.

It's built for Londoners and visitors who already know where they're going and just need the timing. If you use the Tube regularly, you don't need an app that tries to be your travel assistant. You need one that tells you the truth about the next train, fast, and gets out of your way.

Tube Check is part of the Check family of travel apps — alongside Train Check and Sea Check — built on the same idea: transport information should be quick, honest, and blessedly simple. No ads shouting over your countdown. No unnecessary taps between you and your train time. Just Tube Check.

Open it. Check it. Take the Tube.
