#42Its a bit confusing as it only shows a single line for places that have multiple lines running on the same track
The trains themselves have different colours though, so it's not too bad.
Personally, I think the stations themselves are a bit too dark and hide any train that's at the station once the trail disappear. But overall, I think this visualisation is beautiful.

#43It doesn't list the final destination of the trains, which is quite important on lines like the District line.
Re: Live Map of the London Underground
#44I'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 th…
Agreed, this is absolutely beautiful.
The detailing of things like how trains "overlap" each other is incredible

#45There is a similar real time map for Berlin VBB network. It shows the realtime locations of S-Bahns, U-Bahns, Buses, ferries etc. Pretty cool and handy.

#46Looks great but I'm watching this while sitting on a tube right now. What I assumed was my train was lagging by quite a bit and then disappeared!
This sounds like the start of a science fiction story where you find yourself transported to a parallel world...
Re: Live Map of the London Underground
#47This is frankly very cool and hypnotising to look at. I'd love to see more real-life data maps; anything else like this for London?
Imagine layering this, 3D buildings, live weather, street lighting, traffic, and even live business data from Google visualised as crowds on the streets. I could stare at that for hours.

Was this big one recently that took out the Zip cards?

#49There's this board game we played as kids - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scotland_Yard_(board_game) where you move around the London public transport system chasing Mr. X (everyone always wanted to play Mr. X) - it was really funny

#50See also : https://minitokyo3d.com 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 is better, has underground, overground and is womble free. Also has planes and current weather effect (raining).
