Follow London Trains in 3D▲156
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.

The Official National Train Map Sucked, So I Made My Own▲77
Hi HN, I’m a junior developer. I wanted to share a side project I’ve been working on. The national railway carrier (BDZ) has no public API. They have an official map but the UI is quite dated, often lags, and doesn't show the full route context. I wrote a short write-up about the process here: https://www.pavlinbg.com/posts/bg-train-tracker I know it's still rough around the edges (I'm still working on it), but I’d love to hear your feedback or suggestions!
