Rail worker's wacky Departure Board alarm clock, which shows live train times, goes viral
  • last year
A Manchester woman has no excuse to miss her train to work after being gifted an alarm clock which acts as a live departure board and has built in announcements.

Train enthusiast Daisy Chapman-Chamberlain, 30, was given the gadget by her partner, but says it's "quiet" at the moment due to the train strikes but it does help with extra info.

The clock acts as a live departure board allowing people to track and follow train times from their bedside table.

It displays live departure times and real-time data for any UK train, tube, bus or tram journey - including notifications of delays, calling points and announcements.

The unique gadgets were designed by Russell Pirie of UKDepatureBoards, who has been making them for the last fives years and are priced at £164.99.

Daisy's tweet of her alarm clock has been viewed 2.3m times.
