Trains, coaches, ferries and drives: Boarding, Disembarking and the arrival reminder

A journey by train, coach, ferry or road has two moments that matter for the gear: loading it on and getting it all off again. Luggage Logger splits such a stop into Boarding (the stop itself, at departure) and Disembarking (a second stop at arrival), so you can log the bags on and then count them off.

1. Open the day's Schedule and tap the green +.
2. Type a Name, set Start Time (departure) and End Time (arrival), and under Travel Details set Type to Train, Bus / Coach, Ferry / Boat or Drive / Car.
3. A train can take a Train Operator; a coach or drive can take Vehicle Details; a Booking Reference fits most. Tap Create.
4. A Disembarking stop is added at the arrival time. It isn't listed as a row: tap the journey to expand it, and under Log tap Boarding or Disembarking to open that phase's Logger, each with its logged count.

The reminder:

• About ten minutes before arrival (five minutes on a hop under twenty minutes), a notification titled "Don't forget your luggage" says, for example, "Your train arrives at <the stop's location> in 10 minutes - grab your bags." (a coach reads "Your bus", a ferry "Your ferry", and a drive just "Arriving at … in 10 minutes"). Tap it to open the Logger at the journey.
• It's automatic, with nothing to mark: every train, coach, ferry or drive stop that has an arrival time and at least one asset assigned to it gets one.

The same stop sheet and the same Boarding / Disembarking phases. With no arrival time the sheet notes "Add an arrival time to get a Disembarking stop for unloading." The website doesn't send the arrival reminder.

• The Disembarking stop takes the journey's arrival time: edit the journey and it moves. Deleting the journey deletes it too, and a journey you copy and paste onto another day gets a fresh one (see Copy a stop and paste it onto another day).
• Without an End Time there's no Disembarking stop and no reminder, because the app doesn't know when you arrive.
• There's no live train or coach data yet, so the reminder follows the arrival time you entered. If a service is running late, change the stop's End Time.
• Notifications must be allowed for Luggage Logger on your iPhone, and the profile's notifications not muted (see Notifications: what Luggage Logger can send, and how to turn each one off). For a reminder at a time of your choosing on any stop, see Set a reminder for a stop.
• Flights work differently: they get Bag Drop and Bag Reclaim and the hand luggage reminder (see Add a flight to a trip: Bag Drop, the flight and Bag Reclaim).
