Looks fantastic! There is also an API and documentation available at http://api.tfl.gov.uk . Disclaimer: I'm part of the combined TfL and BAE Systems Applied Intelligence team (née Detica) that did the build and architecture, along with the great folks at We Are Experience and Attenda.
It's unclear what the duration at the right for each API call is. Rate limit? Information freshness?

#42This is really good. To give an international perspective, this is what I was used to as a Dutch person: http://9292.nl/ I didn't realise how great that website was until I moved to Sweden to study. This is what is available here: http://www.reseplaneraren.skanetrafiken.se/querypage_adv.asp... I've noticed that I used public transport on long distances a lot more when the website was a lot easier to use.

Having a fully responsive version means that users will navigate the site on mobile devices where data networks are not always good.
Do you intend to reduce the JavaScript payload?

The homepage loads with more than 108 KB of JavaScript. Why so many scripts?! Having a fully responsive version means that users will navigate the site on mobile devices where data networks are not always good. Do you intend to reduce the JavaScript payload?

#47doesn't disappoint on the title 'responsive', great! off topic: this is the FIRST site I've seen that used Samsung mobile image to show the responsiveness of the page instead of an iPhone or an iPad edit: the favicon is not right, when the page is not in focus, you'll see pieces of the white-background left (i have OCD) http://i.imgur.com/z0LAmnJ.png

#48Earlier quoted context omitted.
Minor quibble - the "here" of "Request one here" is black text on a dark blue background and therefore invisible to me. Another minor quibble - print the rules for passwords before people submit an invalid one. And if you do force a resubmit, persist all the form settings or you're going to annoy me^Wpeople.
The link is fixed in the next release. I will ask about the password rules - that does sound annoying.
