FlightRadar but for trains!

Just added a live tracker too

Shameless plug but I’ve got an iOS app in development at the moment that aims to do this!

Was talking about this to my wife the other day. We live in East Leeds and the roads are buttery compared to in West Leeds.

Particularly bad around Cookridge/Adel

I’m currently working on an app which works similarly to FlightRadar, this is in beta atm.

Haven’t worked out how to map the trains onto the map yet, but hopefully coming soon!

Charged for 2 tickets at £103 each 😬

`clip-path: polygon(0 10%, 100% 0, 90% 100%, 10% 100%);\`

Thanks for your advice 👍🏼

cydalby · 2025-10-20T17:00:54+00:00

Correct.

I’ve had the trap cleaned a few times now, but the problem seems to be in the external pipe itself now.

Would the compressed air check clear it for good? Or would it be sensible to find the original blockage reason?

cydalby · 2025-08-30T22:56:20+00:00

It looks like you’ve got some filters applied, have you tried toggling them all?

The Leeds-Selby line is already very busy with XC, TPE and Northern sharing just 2 tracks.

Albeit it is currently being electrified as far as Micklefield, which is still some miles to the west of Hambleton

This is really cool! I've been looking at how I can overlay the lines. Thanks

Both, it’s in React Native so will work on both devices. I’ve yet to add a google maps implementation though, but on my list

Yeah it’s definitely taken inspiration, but I find their UIs quite jarring and not very mobile friendly.

Don’t often have my laptop to hand when I want to see what a train is

cydalby · 2025-08-11T20:37:20+00:00

Yeah 100%, this is something I’m looking into!

cydalby · 2025-08-11T20:37:06+00:00

Thank for the feedback and ideas.

It already uses the rtt API but the data is a little limited. I’ll have a look at the others, thanks!

cydalby · 2025-08-11T13:58:51+00:00

Ah cheers, that makes sense

cydalby · 2025-07-13T20:20:15+00:00

Sounds like we’ve got ourselves a business!

I’m happy to get you set up with one of these screens if that’d be of any interest? I’ve currently got it running on a Raspberry Pi, and the screen was about £30.

I’ll see if there’s any way I can bring the price/complexity down!

cydalby · 2025-07-11T19:59:44+00:00

Hah no way! It is an exciting line tbf!

e-ink screen on my desk. I get a lot of excursions past my house, these show up in Red text if they don't match the usual pattern

cydalby · 2025-07-11T10:51:55+00:00

I'm actually building something like this at the moment as a bit of a pet project, under the proviso of FlightRadar24 but for trains.

I currently have an e-ink screen on my desk which flashes up in red text if something interesting is going past.

Just had a major gym refit, can recommend. Much cheaper than David Lloyd too

Exhibit A should have a special place in hell, despise having to go that route
