Has anyone built an android app with a working frosted layer?

The first pic from android is the closest I’ve got to it being frosted. Whereas in the second pic what it’s supposed to look like and is working on iOS.

Well it seem like there’s been not many new stations open this year! But 2 more are on the way!

Here’s a guide to the new stations, including first train times & new stations coming soon!

(Totally not hinting a new look for Rail Statistics! 😉)

Exciting news!

I've got a public exhibit at the 2025 Showcase in Huddersfield from 7th to 20th June. You can find me on the 3rd floor.

Where you can find more of the GBR concept that I shared last week, along with some fun 90s nostalgia.
June 5, 2025 at 10:26 AM
With SWR now nationalised and GBR upcoming. It’s time I’d share that I’ve been working on a radical concept of GBR and here it is!

(I’ll be showing more in the coming weeks)

May 16, 2025 at 8:11 PM
Well after 265 miles & 4 hours and 16mins I’ve unfortunately left the aberzance at Tiverton Parkway to make the last XC back to Leeds, so I guess I’ll do all that in reverse.

Am I mad maybe?
May 16, 2025 at 7:48 PM
Great to hear @mikewillsee.bsky.social on the BBCs Radio 4, Today show on the last aberzance

When you wake up 9 months later to discover that you photobombed Claudia Winkleman in Sheffield last July without realising.
April 30, 2025 at 10:06 AM
Well what a unexpected and spontaneous week!

Saw a rouge southerner in the north, ended up traveling 9 hours north to Fort William, Ticked of 2 new stations Morar & Mallaig. Plus a dusting of a sunset to end the spontaneity!
April 10, 2025 at 8:53 PM
Well this is embarrassing! 🫤

This is longest I’ve gone not being on a train in maybe a year, this needs to change.

Where should I go? (I need suggestions)
March 30, 2025 at 8:36 PM
After three months of development…

I’m pleased to announce as of today that Rail Statistics now live on the App Store for iOS!!!!!

Why not download the app and see how stations you’ve been to?
