deck.gl based visualiser of the TFL Api + National Rails to be able to track (with minimal drift) a train along the way in London and to the nearest airports. If you pick one from any platform in https://nexttrain.london basically you can share your train journey along the rails. Build to test Cloudflare workers and their infra along with deck.gl performance that is incredible in my opinion.

You can also design custom routes by piecing tracks together. Have fun, and let me know what you think!

Our son is really into trains. He was home sick a few weeks ago and we found that there are several YouTube channels that have live video feeds from various train stations or railway clubs around the US. He really liked it, but he kept wanting to know when the next train was going to show up so he could see it. I built this small website at https://train.api.connelly.casa/ which shows the time to the next train (Pacific time) and will automatically rotate channels to find the next train. It uses the Amtrak live train data today. In the future I might add other agencies, since…
