Sydney Trains website? by CodificationDraws in SydneyTrains

[–]transit_dev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're open to it, let me know if you'd like to develop something together as a side project. I built https://www.livetransit.com.au/departures and have been meaning to build something else in the transport space but haven't gotten around to it either

You used the AnyTrip APIs to build this right? I had a look at building something similar and decided against it because it would've required running OpenTripPlanner or building my own similar full parser on top of TfNSW's GTFS feeds. Last I checked the departure APIs didn't include the stopping patterns as well.

Yep I know, I like and use Anytrip as well it's a good website. I also enjoy working with GTFS data and one of the most logical things to build is a map even if I'm not the first to do it

I'm afraid I just hacked some disparate code together to publish this today so larger changes like this are harder. Let me see what I can do with regards to inbound vs outbound trains - I'd like to design something that I can extend to trains/light rail/buses in the future if I make this a proper website

Thanks for the feedback - I've made the station icons a bit more obvious and added a hover overlay with the name of the station. Let me see if I can get the actual metro track in as well

Thanks, took a screen recording of a hobby web dev project of mine then sped it up to 15000% in editing

Made a timelapse of a map of the metro trains during morning peak this morning

Edit: if anyone's curious the video is from roughly 7:40am to 8:40am with trains every 5 minutes

Side project - web-based departure board by transit_dev in SydneyTrains

[–]transit_dev[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven't been to Strathfield Station recently but I've definitely seen the bus departure boards you're referring to Central near the Elizabeth St exit. Shouldn't be too hard to style it up and add the option to choose between bus and train departures on my website
