Someone recently posted asking if a real time tube map showing moving tube trains existed. Well it does now. traintimes.org.uk/map/tube/schematic/It's from the same person who does the real time moving buses map. |

The first of the two numbers is the set number. Still trying to work out the second one.

Route and destination code? There seems to be some commonality as to destination / direction and route where that applies (e.g. Northern Line). |

The first bit (which I should’ve noticed ages ago) is the train set number. The second might be destination but may need some work as it’s a bit ambiguous at present. Perhaps the data is corrupted between servers? |

Perhaps the data is corrupted between servers? Sorry I should have been clearer but yes the first number is the running number from the WTT. The second number (after the dash) was what I was suggesting was a destination/route code. |

I see it now... for most trains the text seems to show GZZ then LU which I assume is London Underground then the destination which makes sense when broken down. Other trains show a simpler version, perhaps a programming issue? |

Other trains show a simpler version, perhaps a programming issue? More likely reflective of the age of the signalling and control systems and whether data comes directly from that or is "translated" via Trackernet before being made available via the API. I suspect the most reliable data is on the Vic, Jubilee and Northern with other lines being at different levels of detail. |
