Australian Apps?

[Windows Central Question]

Does Windows 10 have an app for Melbourne Australia's train time tables?. I currently use Melbourne Transit on my windows Lumia 640 with 8.1 but can't find it or any other Melbourne trains apps on windows 10

Try Metro Notify btw if you connect the same MS account you have on the 640 to whatever device you're using with w10, you can head into the store > my library and scroll through your apps. If it's there you can download it to the new device

The built in Maps app has Melbourne tram timetable data. If you ask for directions between two places and choose the 'transit' option you will get tram results with scheduling details.

Here Transit also had the data but I think it is unavailable now. It was nice in that it had a few different views, like a timetable for nearby stops rather than requiring you to search for a specific route.

Thanks for the replies, but looking up time tables through maps seems a very slow way of doing it. Android and IOS have proper apps where you can save your favourite stops, select them and see the time tables.
Another question I have is, if I have the app working on windows 8.1, will it work when I upgrade to windows 10? I ask this because I can't find the app in the windows 10 store when I'm on my computer

thanks for the advice. I tried to do this on my laptop which is running windows 10 and the app I need on my phone is under the heading "doesn't work on this device". Does that mean the app won't work on my phone when I upgrade to windows 10?

It said that because the app isn't programmed to run on laptops, it will still work on your phone. If the app was universally coded it would run on both devices, but clearly it isn't or it simply requires certain sensors your laptop does not posses
