Hi all

Taking on board the feedback, I have given the site a facelift, added a route designer, and also integrated the tube map path plotting. Enjoy.

I think it’s a great idea, but the design could be a bit better.

I wish more “web 2.0″ applications were as useful as ones like this — and that they were more local! If there was a service like this for, say, the bus service in my city, I wouldn’t care what it looked like! I think it’s a neat app.

Check out

..another Ajax driven route finder for the tube. This one has a number of well known places in its database, too, and you can add yourself so people can find you. I use it quite often.

Hi Matthew

You can click on the “change” link next to the starting and end stations in the route designer, which will bring up the autocomplete fields for the station names. There is no need to recall them from memory. Also, if the route you enter is a tube route, the intermediate stations will fill in automatically.

Hi Davros

Can’t afford a web designer on my current pay. I can’t do anything about the colours of the tube lines, as they are set by TFL :-)

here’s some feedback : employ a designer, great idea, but it offends my eyes ;)

With the exception of the set-and-forget up or down vote, none of this is improved with the use of Ajax. Also, I hope you don’t plan on printing the route…

The new route thing should allow you to pick a starting point, be presented with a list of available stations that you can select from, and you would just have to click the station name, which would be added to the route. You shouldn’t have to have an encyclopedic knowledge of the route to add it.
