About this app

Travel confidently around London with maps and live travel updates on our official TfL app. Check live arrival times for Tube, London Overground, DLR and Elizabeth line trains as well as Trams and IFS Cloud Cable Car. Make step-free journeys and look up station facilities. See on the map when stations and lifts are closed. Walking or cycling? Our reliable journey planner will map a safe route.

The app is built around our iconic Tube map. To get started:
• Touch the map or search to plan your journey
• See the status of all lines
• Re-route as you travel - we’ll suggest alternatives
• Switch to the step-free map for accessible journeys
• Find out when your next train, bus or tram is due
• Look up which platform your train will arrive on
• See when the stations you want to travel through are quieter
• Check out station information and facilities like toilets

Our simple and clear layout is designed to make using the app easy for everyone.

Planning your journey: We’ll suggest multiple ways to get to your destination – you pick the one that suits you best. Choose the quickest journey, bus-only or one that’s step-free.

Check before you travel: See how the line is running and when to expect your next Tube, bus, train or tram

Freedom to explore: Choose the right travel options if you or someone you’re travelling with needs to avoid steps, lifts onto a train or in a station.

Bus stops near you: Find the bus stop nearest to where you are, and next bus live arrival information for every route.

Available underground via Wi-Fi (or 4G in some places) for live updates on the go.

Old LT for Free app seems to have been deleted. Why? It worked! In comparison this is unfathomable c..p, particularly if one wishes to pre-plan transport options before visiting London as it won't give any information unless GPS puts you in London. F.....g useless! OK, having cleared data from Google Play Services it now seems to work outside London but interface is not at all intuitive. Upgrading from 1 to 3 stars because I can now at leadt pre-plan, but not easily.

This app lacks accessibility options for the visually impaired: the font is too small and not bold, dark mode would be helpful for use at night. The open app default to Underground Map is not helpful as most people use a bus to get to the tube station first. The travel mode changer at the bottom of the screen needs to stay visible. Very disappointed with this.

Hi Lenora, thanks for your feedback. We've tried to set our default font size larger than most apps, plus if you've set a higher font size in your phone settings, TfL Go will increase the font size accordingly. Regarding the navigation buttons, tapping on the empty spaces on the map will toggle these to hidden or visible - hope that helps!

I hate this app! A very poor substitute for the old LT app. Listed bus arrivals often disappear with no explanation. I want to know the next bus arrival info, regardless of bus number. Really tough to find stop information, especially Superloop. Map is based on tube/tram services, no good if you live in a bus only area. No option to identify accurate frequent locations. Can you plan a route? No guidance or instructions. I could go on ... but it is not good.
