Thanks Graham!  And of course I'm v happy to chat about it here and answer questions about it too.

Hi everyone (and thanks to @grahame for the suggestion to post here),

My name is Richard and I work at Window Seater, a project that connects rail travellers to the world outside their window. We have just launched a new app featuring 10x rail-based audio guides - produced in collaboration with GWR^▸ (Great Western Railway) and the Community Rail Network. The aim is to bring travellers closer to the communities, cultures and histories of the places that they’re moving through. 

We would love to invite everyone at the Coffee Shop forum to get involved, to test the free app and listen to some of its guides, and let us know their thoughts.

We are seriously, VERY interested to know what you think, and we hope this is a great opportunity to help raise awareness of stories around rail, and to help bring new visitors into local communities.  Your input would be hugely valuable!

The free app can be downloaded for either iPhone, from the App Store here: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/window-seater/id1400789838

or for Android phones from the Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.windowseater.application

(To make the most of the app experience, we recommend you enjoy it on a train, but you can also listen to a guide or the stories within each guide manually at home, by clicking the play icons or the "Play Story" buttons.)

There is a feedback form too, and we would love some ideas for improvements from the community. It only takes a minute to complete: https://forms.gle/YMH1NPBW5rJUparP8

Thank you so much for your time and we'd love to hear your thoughts!

All the best,
Richard @ Window Seater

Hi everyone,

My name is Richard and I work with Rachel at Window Seater. Or rather, I should say worked as Rachel has recently moved on for pastures new!

I just wanted to say that we have now launched the app that Rachel mentioned, Window Seater, containing 10x audio guides for rail travellers. And we would love to share it with the community here, and to get your ideas for improvements.

(@grahame suggested I add a new post on the forum with the news of the app, as well as add a reply here to Rachel's hello, to let you know the latest.)
