We featured TrainTracker, a live circuit board map of where the trains are on the London Underground – with lights representing the train locations – back in 2020<\/a>. Now, the organisation has taken the concept onwards and produced individual circuit boards for some of the key tube lines in London. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

& they are rather nice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If, like most tube commuters, a single line dominates your travel life, then getting your line – in glowing circuit board form, might just be the best way to know whether it’s going to a trying commute or whether everything is running super smoothly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So far, the team have produced versions for the District line<\/a>, Central line<\/a> and Northern line<\/a>. The District line one uses well over 200 green LEDs, representing train movements at and between stations, in both directions, for all six branches of this complex line. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mapping London these days is based up the Metropolitan line, so eagerly looks forward to a circuit board with an array of violet LEDs appearing in due course. Mind you, the platform information displays generally don’t have a clue what’s going on with the trains, so it might be more of a challenge getting good data for this line in particular…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can see the full range of London transport related map circuit boards on the TrainTrackr website<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
