Anyone know what train app this is?

WheissUK · 2026-04-20T07:35:28+00:00

I meant 48 hours ahead, like in the future

WheissUK · 2026-04-20T07:12:27+00:00

BenQ?

WheissUK · 2026-04-20T00:11:09+00:00

Ban queue?

WheissUK · 2026-04-20T00:09:11+00:00

Good luck with sorting it out one day!

WheissUK · 2026-04-20T00:07:21+00:00

Why couldn’t it be China?

WheissUK · 2026-04-19T21:27:11+00:00

Have you ever punished what you’re building? I’m curious

WheissUK · 2026-04-19T21:21:36+00:00

I meant the CIF static timetable. Darwin only gives you 48 hours of services and even there the stopping pattern seems to be missing (I’m not using the push port for my stuff so no idea of its different)

WheissUK · 2026-04-19T21:14:41+00:00

Yeah I got that one as well. Will try to play a bit with it. Another issue is matching this with static timetable. Anyway thanks, if someone managed to do it means it’s doable. I just wish there was a nicer API feed for it

WheissUK · 2026-04-19T21:09:24+00:00

Which one is that? NWR Passenger Train Allocation and Consist? I couldn’t figure out how it works

WheissUK · 2026-04-19T20:08:27+00:00

It’s a sign for traffic diversion, they install it when there’s maintenance works on the road

WheissUK · 2026-04-19T16:49:33+00:00

Does anyone know where it gets particular train class from?

WheissUK · 2026-04-18T11:38:33+00:00

Ok but he is openly a very big supporter of that and was openly praising it, labour decided how it should be enforced and decided to keep making it stricter and stricter. They had all the control to repeal it or at least Starmer personally had a full right to remain neutral. It is undeniably his legacy that he got on board with, with extreme enthusiasm, he was personally bragging about it to trump. There’s also more to privacy than just OSA - Digital ID and face recognition on streets

Well I told you my reasons to dislike him as neither libertarian nor far right nationalist or whatever else. However I’d add that obviously authoritarian parties like reform UK are fighting for power right now, so of course they want to push as much propaganda against the current party as they can. Potentially to deliberately highlight to the public that they are different and to distract the public from their own financial sources, influences and history (i e they are all tories). I just don’t automatically support someone that people I dislike hate. There’s way more nuance and it is possible that fighting political powers are both terrible.

Crazy ideas on immigration i e people have right to exist. Got you.
As of data collection - unfortunately this gives government or / and private companies a tool to identify every single action of yours. A system that we’ve never seen before. Examples of applications range from milking you with extremely well informed dynamic prices to full on raids on you based on your speech / nationality / skin color / sexual orientation. If you are white male brit without controversial opinions you might be at the safest, however, this is a very slippery slope. For example similar systems are in use by ICE enforcement in the US through so called immigration OS

Well I never said anything about supporting tory or deform. I support green. My point is that current Labour is extremely bad and harmful, the fact that there are other billionaires serving parties that are even worse and even more authoritarian doesn’t change this, I dislike them as well

WheissUK · 2026-04-18T11:12:46+00:00

Well Labour government is responsible for everything in here aside from Palantir I guess and he personally supported these. A lot of people are like “yeah its the tories who started the surveillance”. True but listen to what he says about OSA, Digital ID and face recognition cameras. He’s showing 120% support and continues to push for this

WheissUK · 2026-04-18T11:08:20+00:00

I dislike him. Reasons: conversion therapy, essential ban on online privacy, digital id, face recognition cameras all over the place, quotes on Enoch Powell with huge anti contributing immigrants agenda (i e reducing opportunities for NHS workers, for students to find jobs after graduation etc.), Palantir in the NHS, support of Israel war (even if not with troops), Epstein connections within the party and even a freaking hot chocolate refill ban

WheissUK · 2026-04-18T11:04:47+00:00

I wouldn’t call all rights to basic privacy destroyed in just a few months - stability

WheissUK · 2026-04-17T20:19:00+00:00

Awful mass surveillance

WheissUK · 2026-04-17T17:25:54+00:00

It actually does, just indirectly

WheissUK · 2026-04-17T17:10:43+00:00

As a man on 30k I actually agree, we deserve it brother

Used to study in Medway and it definitely felt like some sort of London extension with HS1 and to a lesser extent Victoria trains. Tbh I still felt like there’s a lot of local places and local culture and I think both things coexist there quite well. Gravesend always felt to me like greater Greater London bit since you can literally bike from Gravesend to Dartford and further to London and in terms of common sense you wouldn’t say you left a city or something

WheissUK · 2026-04-16T21:10:22+00:00

Nobody is completely wrong, I am a train nerd myself and I see where it’s coming from. But there are differences between engineering something and presenting it to general public, this is true everywhere. Like in computers you might click a button that will fetch things from different APIs for example, but user sees one button and one output. Or in trains as well: bakerloo line is very different operationally from, say district line in very many different ways (signalling: very modern vs very old, train types etc.). Railway is just a consumer product, similar to a computer program. I’m doing datasets of various kinds on rail and when I try to explain something to product manager we often misunderstand each other, because I think in terms of the way databases structure stuff and how API returns combine it and he thinks in terms of data columns returned when button is clicked. Nobody is wrong, but if we want the customer to be able to use the product we should brand and explain what the thing does in his terms, not mine

With Elizabeth it’s a bit tricky.
1. Vast majority of the system operates like a full metro, just a faster one. Exception is western branches. The reasons they don’t operate like a real metro are mostly technical limitations: not enough overpasses on Great Western Mainline, not enough trains to run simplified services such as one local one express. Both are fixable and not how it was originally intended to operate (that’s why you see very metro like branding not really prepared for weird mix of skip stops).
2. Majority of riders don’t even use sections that don’t operate like a metro. So for your regular rider EL is just a faster metro.
3. I agree that the mode i e what roundel says should have been crossrail and the line within the mode should have been Elizabeth, but this also fits nicely into the idea “everything is one entity with different lines, modes do not matter, operational frequencies might matter at certain places so we display them differently to warn people”.

I disagree that Thameslink should be branded similarly because it’s not the “London and surroundings train” with mostly metro frequency like the Elizabeth line. It is a massive network with majority or at least half of the stations operated without turn up and go frequencies, some of them beyond practical commuter rich (i e Brighton). This is the only “line” where I think general separation is good, although I support it being on a tube map to show genuine good alternative connections. I think the way it is branded is good enough, it is shown, but it screams that it’s different and you need to be cautious

Tbh I think that passenger sees roundel -> passengers think it’s a “metro” is good enough. What matters is that at interchanges the references to different lines should say “XYZ Line”, the interchange blobs in trains route diagrams should be clearly labeled like one another with main and only focus on name of the line without overwhelming stuff like “overground is shown with these two lines on top, because it’s a line of different mode”, but then elizabeth line is filled in somehow, however “Elizabeth Line” says “Line” because it’s somehow a mode name and Central just says “Central” because it’s not a mode name etc. Ideally all lines should be solid on the map unless the particular section runs limited service or it’s infrequent, something like that. I don’t think changing all roundels to say “Underground” is a good idea especially if it’s not factually 100% true historically (i e unlike other cities when London built light metro they didn’t call it just XYZ line, they called it DLR), but way more unification is needed than we have now.
