#2Looks 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.

#3They had it on a subdomain for ages. Glad it's finally the main site. It's actually beautiful. Now if only they'd redesign the Oyster bit too.

#4Wow, one of the best responsive designs I've seen.

#5Looks good, website is more responsive than the existing one. Quick wins I've noticed on my 2min browsing:
1 Auto fill on the "to" and "from" boxes.
2 website looks clean and responsive
3 The future feature "avoid zone 1". Plenty of people are limited with the travel card deals and will enjoy this feature
4 "View on map", thank God I really didn't like having to download a pdf every time I wanted to check a trip

#6This is really good.
To give an international perspective, this is what I was used to as a Dutch person:
I didn't realise how great that website was until I moved to Sweden to study. This is what is available here:

I've noticed that I used public transport on long distances a lot more when the website was a lot easier to use.

I have to agree on that, however I moved in the opposite way.
Back in Sweden I just found it easier to download the route maps of the cities and just manually follow the routes to determine the best place to get on/off or switch.
Also these travel planners that are available for Sweden (or at least 2000's) didn't really work well when you want to travel between cities.
9292ov.nl helped me out tons when I moved here, it still do, but mainly for trains these days. In the cities I just use the bicycle, as is customary around here :)

I heard it through the grapevine Skanetraffiken is looking for an interaction designer so... fingers crossed!

#9This site is really nice to use.
Does anyone know where it gets data on walking routes?
There is a train station near where I used to live. Google Maps correctly identifies it as being 11 mins' away by foot. The TfL site thinks it's 23 mins away by bus, so never includes it in any suggested routes, instead showing my multiple-leg journeys by bus and tube.
Is there a place to report errors or 'I found a faster route'?

Can you send me a link to the journey planner results? There is no specific way to contribute improvements to the results, best way for now would be to leave feedback through the form in the title bar of the new website.
Edit: You also might get some mileage out of setting your walking speed to "Fast" and selecting "Routes with fewest changes"
