The Platform Window aims to make rail travel easier to understand and more rewarding to notice. We write with care, explain our terms, and make clear what kind of material readers are looking at.
Accuracy and changing details
We check factual claims against appropriate sources before publication and take care not to present changing schedules, facilities, fares, or service arrangements as permanent. Where information may vary, we say so and encourage readers to confirm current details with the relevant operator or service before travelling.
Independence and disclosure
Editorial decisions are made for readers, not to secure a commercial mention. Any paid, sponsored, affiliate, or partner material is clearly labelled so readers can distinguish it from independent editorial coverage. A collaboration does not guarantee favourable coverage.
Corrections
If you spot a factual error or unclear passage, use the Contact page and identify the article and detail. We review correction requests, update material when warranted, and make meaningful corrections clear to readers.
Images and illustrations
Images are chosen to support the subject and not to imply that a pictured train, station, or service is the one discussed when that is not established. Some illustrations are AI-generated and are used as illustrations rather than documentary evidence.
