OnTrac have released a replacement to OnTrac’s Access Point app for Andriod users.

Railhub Access Points replaces the current Access Point App for Android users only. The new and improved app can be downloaded from the Google Play store. We recommend the old app be deleted before installation.

About Railhub Access Points

  • Choose from over 18,000 approved access points

  • View local information including Red Zone prohibitions, authorised walking routes…

  • Get directions from your current location to any Access Point

  • Sighting distance calculator and miles/chains/yards converter

Product overview

One of our simplest and yet most powerful apps to date.

RailHub Access points allows you to search from over 18000 Network Rail approved access points on your mobile phone (on or off-line) by selecting ‘Compass’ button in the bottom right hand corner of the screen, navigating the map or searching for specific ELRs.

How it works

The app uses your phones built in GPS to find your location and then searches for the 100 nearest access points. Once you have selected an access point, the app will automatically pick up local information including authorised walking routes, local red zones and so on. Once Access Points are downloaded they are available at all times (maps / map overlays have limited functionality when devices are offline).
