The Ballarat to Skipton Rail Trail App provides you with the opportunity to test your fitness and race against the train by comparing your times against the original train timetable.

If that’s not your scene, you can take your time and seek out the attractions along the way. Hop on or off at any location, and head in any direction, the app will reset and give you either your distance from the train or the next attraction to look out for.

The app also provides a separate map of all the features that you will need along the trip, including eateries, amenities and general points of interest.
