#32Awesome - I like the 'depth' feature of the tube network. I assume this data is also provided by TFL? If so, it is quite good of them to provide so much data to the public domain.
The data is all publicly available TFL data. Although a lot of work has gone into making it all useable. We're hoping to give back and help improve some of the ways TFL structure their data too
I noticed that in your post as well just now,
"What you can see here is the result of many hours of work from Pete and I, ranging from programming time, to nearly giving up trying to understand the algorithms involved, to hours spent manually wrestling with Excel spreadsheets containing the data we needed. Let's just say that the world would be a better place if data was offered in a variety of similar, usable formats."
I'm leading the project on exactly that, our new Beta site is built upon the new API my team have been building (common data model, RESTful, lower latency etc). Ping me over a mail and we can get you involved in the beta API.
