It's cool to see how fast the trains go on different lines. But... where's the Elizabeth line? You get the tooltip when you hover over it, but the polyline is missing.
Waterloo&City seems to be missing too

#12No Elizabeth Line?
Re: Live Map of the London Underground
#13One of the best game I ever played is the text based souvenir game shopping game on Windows 3. I can't recall the name of the game now since it's more than 30 years ago, but it's about shopping souvenirs using London Underground Tube. You have a semi realistic time constraints like train schedules, your flight schedules and of course list of souvenirs items to shop. This is totally offline since there is no Internet…
Sounds kinda like Backpacker: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backpacker_(video_game_series)

#14From tracking the tube I'm in right now it seems to have around a minute of lag, that's pretty good to know when to leave your house, etc.

#15I note that the times for future stations are in UTC and not BST. Also, when you zoom in to only a couple of stations, the trains seem to vanish occasionally -- maybe when part of the train reaches the edge of the display. I also find it jarring that the trains appear above the buildings rather than get hidden by the buildings. I'd like to see the trains running along the surface... All of these suggestions are much easier to make than to implement!
Good job on this and pretty cool.

#16No Elizabeth Line?
Although it has a core section that does run underground through tube-like tunnels, it isn't classified as a tube line :) So isn't part of the "London Underground"

It’s probably excluded because TFL don’t classify it as an Underground line. Similarly, hovering over the DLR will produce a tooltip but the line is excluded.

#19This is one of the coolest things I've seen the whole morning.
Re: Live Map of the London Underground
#20Very cool, although it seems to be missing both the Waterloo & City line and the Hammersmith & City line.
