#102Tokyo equivalent with animated trains, weather, flights and more: https://minitokyo3d.com/
This one is incredible with its smooth animations and the ability to ride along with a train.

It's a reference to the murder of Henry Nowak, a sad example of knife crime which exists in the uk, and of individual police officers who failed to render basic first aid. The family not only lost their son, but then had to see his name used to further the global hatred of the farage types
What's that got to do with "arresting people for the crime of being white"? That's a pretty common racist dogwhistle, propagated by groups like Farage's Russian owner.
Henry Nowak was white, he was stabbed by a criminal, but then arrested because they believed the murderer

#104Shameless self-promotion: I make a departure board for the Swiss public transportation network: https://www.stationdisplay.com/
A bit of feedback on the Try it out section:
- So for some stations (most?) it shows that all trains go to the selected station, nowhere else.
- Also the search show only one station at a time instead of the multiple that could match the search. And even if we typed the whole station name, it might match another station, which mean the station is not selectable at all.

#105Although it's a bit rougher design wise I prefer https://traksy.uk/live
Amongst other things it shows all the signalling segments so you can actually see where your train is when waiting e.g. https://traksy.uk/live/T+CDU+BRI+d+@2026-07-06T15:00/S+G1548...

This map is for the UK, not the US. We don't have ICE here.

I suspect it's linked to this which is the latest example being used. https://www.ndtv.com/world-news/uk-man-was-assaulted-by-atta...

Re: Real-time map of Great Britain's rail network
#108Is this actually based on GPS (or similar) on the trains, or is it just interpolating signal times (which are waaaay coarser)?
Not affiliated with the site, but it's almost certainly just the Train Describer feed from Network Rail to observe headcodes stepping through berths, and then doing some proprietary interpolation within berths to guess where the trains are, probably using fairly coarse inputs like train class, rolling stock type and line speed. It's possible it's not even doing that, and they have just built a model that observes typ…
Do trains have real time position sensing and reporting now? Feels to me like that should be something that could (and should) have been done 20 years ago at least. You don't even need GPS - even wheel-based odometry should work very well. Visual odometry can be used to detect wheels slipping if necessary. Hell you could probably count sleepers.

Cop body slams a white man and then arrests him after he was assaulted by black people: https://www.ndtv.com/world-news/uk-man-was-assaulted-by-atta...
Of course the black people were let go. After all, they did nothing wrong, they just assaulted a white guy.
