What basemap provider are you using? built with Deck.gl it seems. Very cool!

#22Sadly it seems to have broken, at least for me. I get:
> dist.min.js:11 deck: LineString coordinates are malformed
and no trains appear :(
Re: Live Map of the London Underground
#23I once saw a rendering of parts of the underground showing the stations and the tracks in 3D (hand-drawn but in scale), what stood out to me is how much of the entire system is composed of stations and how little for the actual tubes connecting those areas, certainly in the busier areas. I was hoping to see the stations rendered as well as I never could find those images back. This looks very nice in any case, reminds me of marinetraffic.
Re: Live Map of the London Underground
#24Its a bit confusing as it only shows a single line for places that have multiple lines running on the same track
Re: Live Map of the London Underground
#25It'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
If you hover over the line to the right of Blackfriars it says Waterloo and City, incorrectly.

I find the 3D trains (and planes) easier to see.
Also, I love the webcams scattered around the city, and especially those which have sound.

It's not a tube, it's an overground line. As evidenced by this Network Southeast livery.. on a tube train that's an overground train that goes entirely underground https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=MhUDyX4DKXQ

Re: Live Map of the London Underground
#30I've seen visualisations similar to this before, but this one is by far the most beautiful and I could watch it all day.
I echo the sentiments on the TfL API, I've built the same Tube Tracker app over and over for more than 10 years[1] as my go-to for learning new tools[2] or testing changes to frameworks[3] and I'm not sure it's ever improved. A chap called Chris Applegate wrote extensively about his battles more than a decade ago[4], did they ever add the stations between Latimer Road and Goldhawk Road on the Hammersmith & City/Circle line?
