About BritewayBecome an early adopter
The Briteway app is currently in beta (an early release, ready to be used and tested by train travellers in Wales).
It’s being created by Briteyellow for Transport for Wales and this first iteration can be used in six train stations: Cardiff Central, Cardiff Queen Street, Newport, Pontypridd, Chester and Shrewsbury. As we add more stations, we can improve the app based on your feedback and insights, helping thousands more people feel confident about travelling by train.
Briteway is funded by The Design Age Institute
Through the transformative power of design, the Design Age Institute aims to help everyone age happier and healthier. It brings together designers, businesses, researchers and communities to help address the challenges and opportunities of an ageing society.
Briteway, powered by Briteyellow, is part of the Transport & Mobility Pathfinder Innovation Programme, generously supported by the UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) Healthy Ageing Challenge, delivered by Innovate UK, the UK’s national innovation agency.
