This little application is something I could have really done with last weekend when I was down in London. It’s a must have application for anyone who is going to be using the tube system in London who doesn’t use it on a regular basis!
This little application will allow you to plan journeys, find the nearest tube entrance, get updates on stations and lines such as maintenance, planned closures , part closers and suspended lines.
You can also find out the departure times in real time and also browse the full tube system map on your iPhone.
Loading Screen

Main Menu
From here you can choose exactly what you want to do. You will see across the bottom the options that are available.

As you can see the option that is selected by default is “Status” this screen allows you to select the line you want and find out critical information such as closures, planned closures, if the service is running as normal etc.
You can choose the line you want and you should see a screen like the one below showing the exact details.

You can also browse the “Maps” section which allows you to view the whole of the tube map on your iPhone, which is of course fully scrollable showing you all the stations.


The “Plan” Option will allow you to plan your route and will tell you which line you need to be on, which stations you need to swap and shows you the other stations you will pass along the route.

Simply select the From Station where you will be presented with the full list of stations which is of course searchable so you don’t need to scroll through them all.

After selection it will revert you back to the “Plan” screen where you will now need to do the same for the destination. After this has been done simply click on Itinerary and you will be presented with this screen, for this journey we have done a short journey from Piccadilly Circus to Embankment.

If we now click on the “Departures” tab we will need to select our line and also station that we are going from, it will then display all the times that the tubes depart and when the next one is. They are really regular sometimes every couple of minutes so no need to panic if you miss the first one!
Select the line:

Select your Outgoing station: I have used Piccadilly again as an example.

You can also use the “locate” tab which will use the built in GPS to find the nearest station to you.
Now because I am no longer in London the distance for me is quite….well a distance!
Allow access for “Tube Deluxe” to use your current location

You will then be presented with a list of stations that are close to your location.
Select the one that is closest to you:

The you will be able to use the following options!

This is a must have application for anyone who hasn’t used the tube system before or anyone who doesn’t use it regular and requires assistance with the London Underground system!
Enjoy!
