Your question peeked my curiosity since I've been pleasantly surprised at what 
the Siri app understands.

First of all, when I launched Siri it displayed a notice that it will seas to 
function on October 15.  I was aware that the app was removed from the store, 
but next Saturday anyone who already has it without a 4S will be SOL, but I 
digress.

I asked "What time is the next train from Durham to Washington, DC?".  Siri 
admonished that it does not yet have train schedules and offered to search the 
web.  It then placed me on the Amtrak site which presumably is the equivalent 
to National Rail over there.  Its not inconceivable that this kind of 
information will be available in the near future -- the possibilities are 
boundless actually!!

Best regards.
Geoff

  hi all, does anyone know who the developer is for national rail ap here in 
the UK?
  Wouldn't it be good if not just in britain but in general we could say to the 
phone when is the next train to so and so, and it knows where w e r and then 
tells us when the next train is leaving?
