If you have a smartphone, then there are apps available that will let you log a track and then export it in a GPX format, there are a wide range of options on each app store. Once you have a track exported in GPX format, please email it to <a href="mailto:tracks@realtimetrains.co.uk">tracks@realtimetrains.co.uk</a> with a link to the service from Realtime Trains. Please try and send only one service per track. </p> <p>“</p> <p><a href="http://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/tracks" rel="nofollow">http://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/tracks</a> </p>
