Developer Tip, http://www.tfl.gov.uk/tube-dlr-overground/status/ on this page is an SVG version of the tube map...

Surprised more people haven't noticed there's an SVG tube map right there! Bonus: it's tagged with the station Naptan codes and TransXChange route ids that are the API's currency.

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?

Yep, freshness or TTL in our cache layer.

I love that there are aerospace engineers tasked with doing stuff for the folks who do underground trains :P

Most of us wouldn't know the back end of a plane from the front end of a tube train :)

From the comments I'm trying to work out who you are, struggling tho!

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?

Hey, it loads fast on EE, can't ask for much more!
