Who remembers the old London Transport (LT) (1933-1984, 1990-2000) and London Regional Transport (LRT) (1984-1990) name?

Should #TfL revive 'London Transport' as their trading name?

I enjoyed my last ride to Greenwich on the recently opened C4 cycleway so much, that I had to make a #map about it. 😅 🚲🗺️ The missing bit is supposed to be completed in autumn 2023 🥳

Can def recommend if you’re into #cycling and want to explore London!

🆕 blog! “Combining 3 transport APIs for one info screen”

Last year, I blogged about how I turned an old eReader into an Information Screen. I've since updated the display to show me three different sets of transport information. At a glance, I can see the next bus, whether there are delays on the Elizabeth Line, and if my regular trains are running. Here's how…

An eInk screen which is displaying the times until the next bus, what delays there are on the tube, and then a bunch of train departure times.
