See the next trains. Times, delays, cancellations and the platform, the moment the station announces it.
Catch the right one. Choo Choo shows only the destination you asked for, so the 10a for Southend is the one you see.

Why Choo Choo exists

I kept missing my train from Stratford to Southend Victoria. It can leave from platform 10 or 10a, the boards don't move fast enough, and I needed to see that one destination and nothing else, the moment it was announced.

So I built Choo Choo, with love. I hope my children, Gil and Bia (16 and 19), are proud of it, and that they can use it too.

Commuters crowd a Stratford station passage under departure boards that list many Southend destinations, with platform 10a among them. — Stratford at rush hour: more trains on the boards than anyone can read.

Platform 10a at dusk: commuters wait on the platform as a Greater Anglia train for Southend Victoria pulls in, its destination shown on the display above the doors. — Platform 10a, and the Southend Victoria train I kept missing.
