See the idea in action
Distance does
the timekeeping.
Your alert is based on how close you are to your destination, rather than a scheduled arrival time.

Good to know
A few things to
know before boarding.
When does StopWake alert me?
StopWake uses your device's location to estimate how close you are to the destination station. You choose the alert distance, with a two-mile option recommended in the current app.
Can someone see where I am?
You can choose to share a private live journey link with someone you trust. They can follow your progress in their browser. Sharing ends when you end the journey or the link expires; updates depend on your phone and connection. You control whether to send the message through your device.
Can I message someone when I'm almost there?
Yes. Choose a journey contact and a distance for a near-arrival message. The current app can prepare the message for you; review and send it using the phone's messaging system.
Does it work without mobile signal?
Location accuracy and messaging are affected by GPS reception, tunnels, device permissions, battery settings and mobile connectivity. No alert or message delivery can be guaranteed.
What is the safety screen for?
It gives quick access to calling 999, messaging your trusted contact and texting British Transport Police on 61016 for non-emergency railway incidents.
Can I download StopWake now?
Not yet. StopWake is in development for iPhone. The App Store button currently explains that the app is coming soon, and we'll replace it with the real link once available.
Your journey. Your way.
One more reason to
enjoy the ride.
Wake near your stop, keep someone informed, and have safety options close to hand.
