I like it! The original tube map was designed by Harry Beck, an technical draftsman, inspired by circuit diagrams and now the map has become a circuit.

[@KvetoslavBastard]

That's briliant

Proud owner of a NYC board here. It was interesting during the height of the pandemic watching the board slowly go dark overnight for a system that normally runs 24/7. A temporary measure that was put in place for nightly disinfection.

[@donovanchilvers8564]

I would love to get these but the devil in me is disappointed that there is no Waterloo and city line on it own 😂

[@claudias2340]

lmaoooo

[@davidbutton3500]

Looks great. Too bad the PCB is green. I think black would look much better.

[@fredashay]

Ooooh! I'm gonna buy the one for New York! Might put it in a frame with a darkened plexiglass overlay with the lines painted on it...

[@nosport7634]

I have the UK weather map. It's a daily joy; most of the time, UK weather moves from west to east, so as the lights change it's easy to see the rain approaching about 30 mins before it happens.

[@tucker9162]

They are literally brilliant

[@kabongpope]

the new Tube map is a thing of beauty!

[@aucunoui8610]

With a simple screen, it will be magnificant

[@LewisYamanoteAintReal]

I just got the New York one last year for Christmas. Thanks for the update!

[@zzzzzzzzzzy]

whaaaaat? my mind is blown. this is amazing! i’d watch it all day long!

[@MargaretUK]

They're pretty cool! Especially the weather one, what a great idea 💡 👏 😀

[@johnreed8336]

Brilliant product ! Well presented as well .

[@ieltswithian1642]

I totally get the weather board, there are practical uses for it. And I also get the cleverness and ingenuity of the train boards. But am I missing something? Unless you live right by a tube station, what practical use are they. Or is it just that they look good?

[@patrickmcclung3]

I live in Los Angeles and just purchased the new York subway board from Train Trackr, I love devices like this. Next will be the London underground, thanks Geoff for all the wonderful videos!

[@GManPT]

This is the coolest and "nerdiest" thing ever. Love it!

[@guillaumemaurice3503]

Thank you for sharing this video Geoff that was very interesting and great information. ❤

[@Itsjustesh]

It looks amazing!

[@Sim0nTrains]

This video has brighten my day, seeing these LED Maps made me glow with a smile, brilliance video Geoff.

[@ChatNxir_2009]

I need one! Another great video geoff, I love how the software works

[@jabbertwardy]

I've always wanted to get one of these here in the States! Nothing for my local area, but it looks like a great decorative piece!

[@EppelheimTV]

I really like the weather one, as it is quite useful, not only for train fans.

[@squidgytop.2050]

Oh wow I should get one later in the future Hope you well have a good day Henry

[@Anonymoususer_2023]

It bet there will be one for the Bakerloo Line extension. That does look pretty cool and the way you have explained it to us is what I would like to get. Nice.

[@john_smith1471]

I really like the idea of a live led train and tube map, but I’m put off by the green printed circuit board mounting, If they had a resemblance to the familiar pdf train map I’d be interested, I used to handle PCBs for customer equipment, the green circuit boards were kept enclosed away from dust and static, that what these train boards remind me of.

[@philipbrailey]

That’s just so brilliant.

[@cameroncoull3354]

If there was one for the Edinburgh Trams or Glasgow Subway I would be very interested!

[@stephensaines7100]

Rumour has it that there's going to be a very expensive upgrade that allows you to *control* the trains, not just track them.

[@EWSTrains]

Got a nice combination there You can see what time your train / tube is with a UK Departure Board then you can see where it is with a train tracker and then check on the train tracker weather map what it's like outside Nice video

[@TrainNingaH]

These are so cool

[@electrosoundaust]

Brilliant! They need one for Melbourne, Australia!

[@enisra_bowman]

what a cool project! And since the Tube Network Map maybe one of the most iconic ones, a nice Art Piece for Train Nerds around the World. the only grip i have maybe the placementr of the powersource, one mounted on the Backside might be better so you don't have a cable sticking out at the side and it would be nice and flush and i wish a map for the Tram and S-Bahn Network for my Region would be viable, but well, don't everyone would also likes a Map from there home region?

[@richardhawthorn130]

There is actually an option to get power from the back of the board, with a small adapter.

[@enisra_bowman]

@@richardhawthorn130 oh, perfect, then i have no issue with them :D

[@TheTimTri]

This is fascinating! I love how easy the setup process is, the mini platform display boards with their complicated settings and subscription tiers honestly aren’t my cup of tea.

[@ProfSimonHolland]

very very cool

[@anneclements2473]

Amazing. I didn’t even know this was a thing.

[@A-Trainspotter-From-Berkshire]

I find that other open source websites are better for the Network rail-owned sections as they provide even more precise data but the Traintrackr looks like a great all-around one.

[@jordanbrooks7468]

If they did one for the Manchester Metrolink, that would be awesome

[@Bakerloo-Line-Fan]

Nice Upgrade Maps

[@RJBTransport]

Good Video Geoff

[@elwisuntemp7199]

Oh my gosh I’d love an Irish rail one of these

[@GeorgeSimms-ud8vc]

Love your content Geoff Keep it up you are my inspiration

[@chloelee84]

wow geoff this is brill

[@soundssensational4568]

Nice toys!

[@76_SPZL]

Would love a Munich or Paris map! Would be an instant buy. edit: also would be great to get a black or white pcb

[@entropy1484]

I ordered this one about a week ago, ironic that you make a video on it.

[@carl90210]

Look forward to watching the Elizabeth Line train block the central section due to “avin’ some door problems”

[@PsychicLord]

These are great, I have 5 of these and will get more as I save my pennies.

[@Jetstream__]

I have an idea for black Northern Line LEDs: Order the white LEDs with a black plastic/shielding or paint them black, then have the default colour be white, turning the LED off where the train is. Or if you have black permenant marker, you could draw a thin circle ⭕ around the LED's window to make it look black and colour the rest of the plastic in...

[@MultiMickT]

I want one of these!!! Would be even better if they did a Tyne and Wear Metro version!!!

[@Mikeb1001]

Peeing it down across the majority of northern England. Standard April up here!

[@azy83]

i think some kind of wrap or sticker, kinda like you get with laptop lids etc would be nice. in different styles. i get some people like the green pcb look but its not for everyone

[@michaelorton6947]

Very nice! Alas the price for the big map is outside my purchasing range. Just perhaps they might be able to scale up production with an advert like this, and advert this particular posting certainly is, but I fear they won't get the price down to something I could consider paying. I do hope the LEDs show the trains on shared lines in their correct colours!

[@TanzmitTransmit]

They’ll still be pricey but it’s worth mentioning that the bloke has done a healthy Black Friday discount every year if anyone wants to save up for them or as a gift.

[@teecefamilykent]

What a great map/ board!

[@kenjewell5619]

They would be better if the solder mask was done in matt black. There is a green overload on it at the moment.

[@SmithyScotland]

We need a 24 hour stream of the london underground display

[@ElvenSpellmaker]

_"Battersea Power Station Station"_ now that's one I'm in agreement with.

[@gameswithamy6711]

Want one of these for the GWML

[@andrewpink3171]

Geoff. A number of years back there was for a short while a regular service - with catering - that ran from Norwich to west London (for Heathrow?) via Highbury & Islington on the Overground. Maybe worth a short piece so it's brief existence is not entirely forgitten?

[@simon199418]

lol removed the copper on the top layer to show the river, cool.

[@England91]

It might look nicer/better with a diffuser on top

[@cochlearkid]

Train Tracker, would you be able to do Manchester Metrolink?

[@smjrn63]

Those are cool. Would love to have the large tube map in my collection of U.K. memorabilia. The big question is would the map work all the way here in the states? Oh and by the way Thanks!!!!😊

[@jerematic]

I want a Waterloo and City line one

[@TSCappuccino]

I think I’ve seen something similar on Victoria Line Driver’s Eye View DVD video.

[@gothica64]

You know what you need, Geoff, one of those train tracker gadgets of the Island Line, just in case you decide not to visit the Isle of Wight again. They could make it even better by including the steam trains too, just for fun. 😄🚅🚆

[@MikeyCondon-kv7cy]

@geoff ar you going to see the avanti trains

[@RoyvanLierop]

Doesn't seem to comply with UKCA (The new CE), just an oversight?

[@London_city780]

Is the Victoria line the most frequently line

[@keithrussell9834]

I have signal maps on my phone this has the elizabeth line on there in full but in sections as well as other lines in the UK railway network. I wonder if you can go in search for a class 345 with USB ports fitted then start your new tube map board and track it without getting lost in the core section then I can use my signal maps and do the same thing. Let's see which one is better. I would win this challenge.

[@scottc1589]

The Washington Metro one will keep breaking down, or major portions will be down for months at a time for 'upgrading,'

[@MrCalldean]

My only worry is that the API is via TrainTrackr, and if they go out of business/shut down the servers..... expensive bit of plastic hanging about doing nothing.

[@GlobeSync1]

True, I was about to get this before I saw this comment. Thanks for saying that :)

[@user-et3uc1ij5v]

I just wish they did the PCB in different colours. Blue for the weather maps, amd white for the train lines.

[@maxbenchip4534]

Hey Geoff ! Didn't you made a FAQ post recently ? I can't find it anymore

[@AFCManUk]

I'd love one of these for my local Chiltern Line. . . But I'm guessing there's no way for it to pick up where the trains are in realtime?

[@MrLOFTYBOBBY]

do they do one of all the train services around the country

[@leolesage9237]

What a cool idea. Does it work if I use it from France?

[@Ulleskelf]

When will they release a version for the Waterloo and City??

[@dougal7386]

Nerdy, yet delicious

[@MrElbarto75]

[@DavidBromage]

You need to take your Purple Train board to a Elizabeth Line station, connect to the free wifi and see if there's any delay.

[@radu22vis]

How on Earth, the fare between 2 zones ( zone 6 to zone 5) is so big? Heathrow T3 to Hayes & Harlington is £ 7.1...

[@Ro99]

7:48 so I can see the section where there is track-sharing on the tube the LEDs light up for the correct line of the train. The Elizabeth line shares track with other services out east and west so does anyone know when a C2C train is at Stratford for example would it light up in purple or not at all (or on the Bakerloo west of Queen’s Park or Met north of Amersham)?Also where track is shared what would happen on the line diagrams?

[@richardhawthorn130]

The LEDs only light up for Elizabeth line trains.

[@Ro99]

@@richardhawthorn130 ah right thanks.

[@paultidd9332]

How about the whole national rail network?

[@JonathanLight1]

No bus coverage?? :)

[@jamiesworld1690]

Can lights be changed ti color of the tube map for example red light is central line purple lights is Elizabeth line etc

[@richardhawthorn130]

On the large map the LEDs do take the colour of the line they are displaying.

[@JP_TaVeryMuch]

Look and listen

[@Bakerloo-Line-Fan]

I wanna buy a Bakerloo Line with TrainTrackr board

[@askinlad]

they could do a bigger one with Overground on it.

[@Jimyjames73]

Very C😎😎L Geoff 🙂🙂🚂🚂🚂

[@johnplampin7274]

So this does not in fact show everything. Waterloo has 4 sets of actual trains, right,? But there are only three display dots. There seems to be a line connecting Waterloo and Bank but no actual electronics. Or am I missing something?

[@keithrussell9834]

W&C have 5 sets of 92 stock but there is an online map to see where they are as the Led maps are not that good
