Rail Rota is the ultimate, all-in-one shift management app built specifically for train operators and railway staff. Say goodbye to manually typing your shifts into your calendar or carrying around crumpled paper duty cards. With Rail Rota, managing your work-life balance is as simple as uploading your roster PDF!

Designed from the ground up for the modern LU worker, Rail Rota automatically parses your official duty PDFs and seamlessly organizes your schedule into a beautiful, highly interactive digital calendar.

🚀 What's New in v1.1!
We've completely overhauled our parsing engine! All roster PDFs are now 100% securely processed directly on your device—no network connection required, guaranteeing maximum privacy and blazing-fast load times. We've also added full support for parsing Cover Duties, introduced an exclusive Waterloo & City Line supplementary duty integration for Central Line staff, and launched Rail Rota Premium! There is no Paywall, but if you want to have an ad-free experience then Premium is for you.
