The TfL APIs are really good. I made this LED line status strip with them: https://unop.uk/dev/train-disruption-indicator-with-a-blinky...

#12Great work. This is a nice flat map in a more traditional style but with a few improvements over the normal one: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/10/Sameboat...

#14This is just a visual experiment, it has no intention to be used as a service. It is live because it is pulling live data from the TfL prediction summary API, which returns approximate arrival times for the next 30 minutes. The default simulation speed is 5 and it can be adjusted to 1 for an experience as 'live' as http://traintimes.org.uk/map/tube/ As for the Circle line, it is just commented out in the code because…
Thanks for clearing that up!

Cool. It would be even cooler if it also included a layer with a 3d map of the city :)

I don't have a 'wheel', I have a trackpad - can't figure out how to zoom. Any suggestions? (thanks - interesting visualization tool!)

#18http://tracker.geops.ch/ got submitted to HN a quite a few times but never got traction. It's only 2d and missing parts of the Transport for London infrastructure, but it's truly global otherwise. http://tracker.geops.ch/?z=2&s=1&x=-3057.5011&y=5968203.1664...
Perhaps it shouldn't spam the browser's back button with new entries every time you make a little move on the map. Especially if all those entries do nothing when you click them.

Use whatever you use for scrolling, I'm on a mac trackpad and it worked for me.

#20Just for information, you can click the numbers at the bottom to view some other cool stuff. I also liked the track on #8, try and figure out what it is, took me a while...
