TrainDB is a Windows screensaver that resembles the CityRail indicator displays. All timetable data is downloaded from the CityRail website. It also contains command-line tools for performing queries on the timetable database.
You can also view the TrainDB timetable data on your mobile phone, using TrainView.
Update 10 Mar 2009: TrainDB will be coming back soon.
