What it does
I love this app. Northern Rail runs the train service in the North / North West of the UK. Their excuses for cancelling trains are legendary. This app gives historical data on Northern Rails cancellations.

Trains.fyi – a live map of passenger trains in the US and Canada2023 · trains.fyi · ▲503Hey all! My train the other day was delayed and I got curious where they all were at any given time, so I built a map and figured I'd share it.

Some infra providers are offering free egress, but buckets are only private (hello Railway), and not geo-distributed. An L4 balancer will cost a fortune (hello Cloudflare). cdn-s3-go solves this by looking up objects, generating a pre-signed URLs and redirecting the clients directly. Free egress, cheap public geo-distributed CDN!
