Main link has a rogue “h” at the front.
This is a lovely concept.
Before coffee I thought I was reading “Trainwrecker”. That would be a very different angle.

Alas, no love for the Overground. 
10/10 for timing. I would have found extremely useful every day for the last 20 years, right up to 3 months ago.

Can’t wait for one for NYC, because that would mean the MTA has finally overhauled the ancient sensors in the subway and can finally track the trains like a modern transit system! Right now, they only have real-time data for most of the former IRT lines (1,2,3,4,5,6 trains), which is pathetic.
Good luck with that. London is sort of decently managed. Boston is just small and simple.

Boston Metro…that would be the ‘T’, unless perhaps it’s referring to Boston, Lincolnshire?

Seriously considering the London version, would settle for Helsinki.

The Boston Metro is that freebie newspaper they used distribute on the T before it went belly up. I can’t imagine tracking it is of much use anymore…

Freakin’ awesome idea! It’s not hard to imagine an algorithmic approach to custom layouts, have a service bureau make the boards… but I don’t know how to do surface mount leds as a kit, dammit!
OH MAN!
I am from Boston originally and this is great!!!
EDIT: I WISH IT WAS A KIT I COULD DO ALL THE SOLDERING MYSELF ON THOUGH!
