What is this?
This map shows all trains currently on approach to a particular station. The yellow pins are stations (click for a local map of that station), the red pins trains. The trains move in approximately real time, or rather quicker if you check the speed-up box.
How does it work?
Live departure data is fetched from the National Rail website, much like my timetable site, and then it does a bit of maths and magic.
Who did this?
Matthew Somerville. Formerly a civil servant, I’m now normally to be found working for mySociety helping create and update various popular democracy and civic websites, like TheyWorkForYou and FixMyStreet. But I’m always open to offers for other fun stuff. :) I can be emailed at matthew@dracos.co.uk.
