In plain words

Advanced UK Rail Isochrone Mapping is a tool that visualizes travel times across the UK rail network. Users can select a starting point and see which areas are reachable within specific timeframes by train. The tool is designed for anyone planning travel, relocating, or analyzing regional connectivity. It combines UK rail schedules with mapping to display journey accessibility in an interactive format.

    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.

  • I built a transit travel time map2023 · map.henryn.xyz · ▲255

    This was something I built while trying to look for housing in Toronto that was decently transit-accessible to my office while still cheap. The backend is written in Rust. It parses public GTFS data from transit agencies and performs a simple heuristics-based BFS on the bus lines to calculate how long to reach all points in a city. The frontend uses React and Mapbox GL to render each individual road segment based on how long it takes to reach. This project was a great excuse to learn Rust, deployments, and mapping. The source code is here if you are interested:…

  • The Official National Train Map Sucked, So I Made My OwnDec 2025 · bdzmap.com · ▲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!
