The above video demonstrates use of TFL’s new API Beta, which fetches live departure data and places it onto a Google map in realtime. A live version is normally available but the API is currently down due to overwhelming demand.

The project was realised at the 2010 Science Hackday by Matthew Somerville (with support from Frances Berriman and James Aylett), with station icons by Tim Diggins. The source code is available here.
