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.
A future version of TrainDB may contain a GUI timetable search tool. For now, the only way to query the timetable database is via a command-line interface.
You can also view the TrainDB timetable data on your mobile phone, using TrainView.
