Car

On the AA website, you can see different events on the road including traffic jams which can lengthen your journey. This is a useful feature as you can detour around the jam to save time. However, if you don't have access to the internet, you have to rely on radio and messages. This however can be delayed which can lengthen your journey.

Train

I last tracked the train at 11.49 and it is on time.

On national rain enquires, I can check live updates of where the train is and what time it is expected to turn up at particular stations. This source is useful for checking whether the train will turn up on time or not.
