Wouldn't it be cool if there was a bot that could tell you how your commute is doing? Or if your train was disrupted? 🚆🚧
We thought so, which is why we're pleased to introduce our latest data crunching tech. It's a world first (just saying), and it lives in our Voice App. 🤖
⚠️ To get personalised disruption voice alerts for your train journeys, simply open our Voice App in the Google Assistant and ask ‘how is my commute doing?’ or ‘is this train running on time?’.
... Our clever bot will then scour Twitter and Train Company information to let you know if there is any disruption, when the issue started, how it's unfolding and even what's being done to get everything back on track - excuse the pun! 🛤️
