Nice. Pretty impressive in the standard view. But zoom and pan are broken. A revert to default view would be helpful.

Very cool, although it seems to be missing both the Waterloo & City line and the Hammersmith & City line.

Hammersmith & City + Lizzy Line missing, makes Farringdon look like a backwater rather than London's best connected station.

It also has the met line extension in Watford that never got built.

Sadly it seems to have broken, at least for me. I get:

> dist.min.js:11 deck: LineString coordinates are malformed

and no trains appear :(

What basemap provider are you using? built with Deck.gl it seems. Very cool!

This is one of the coolest things I've seen the whole morning.

Repping for London UK - a rare feat these days. Well done Ben!

Could you open source it ? Would love to contribute.

Oh no they will hit each other, someone call 911!

It's 999.

Is it? In EU 112 is legally mandated. Did they roll back after Brexit?

Either way the numbers are mostly legacy. On mobiles emergency calls are a special protocol, no number is really transmitted to the network. If the phone application recognizes a certain number it will initiate an emergency call. And quite often several numbers do it. 000, 112, 911, 999. (Admittedly it's many years I last tested it.)

It's always been 999 in the UK. 112 works on phones too, but that wasn't because of the EU: it's part of the GSM standard.

Both are official https://www.gov.uk/guidance/999-and-112-the-uks-national-eme...

112 was made official by EU in 1991 when GSM did not exit yet: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/112_(emergency_telephone_num...

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).

This 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.
