Oh my...wow!

How accurate is this?

It missed out the Whifflet line A good wee thing. Pointless, but "fun".

 

[westcoaster]

the maps go in straight line and do not follow the track

 

[Metroland]

Bit limited as to what it shows. Really we want all 20,000 passenger trains per day on there, plus freight, now that would be good.

Anyone out there willing to attempt that then???
It would be cool to see the whole rail network + every single train.

 

[me123]

yeah. It's only big stationswhich covers a lot of people, but a good few lines have no representation on the map. Maybe they're working on that.

Re Whifflet line; 'tis there, but no trains and half the intermediates are missing.

Would your internet be able to take that? I know mine probably wouldn't.

 

[adamp]

I dont know, we would have to see

There's already an application which shows a live map of the entire network, its called CCF.

Do tell? Control centre of the future does that stand for and is there a public version?

 

[HSTfan!!!]

newport is non existent on there

 

[Dennis]

It is on there - just need to zoom in a little.

 

[HSTfan!!!]

it doesn't actually show the station no matter how far I zoom in

It is indeed Control Centre of the Future. Its basically a graphical version of TRUST (though they are completely independant of each other). You can't access it from a PC unless its hooked up to the railways servers.

Then stop teasing us so, you evil person!

This has actually been around for quite a while, and I've never seen it be updated with anything new, so I shouldn't hold your breath.
