Having spent the majority of the past couple of months stuck at work watching the real thing, I don't think this is for me, and I'm certainly not missing London. I can see the appeal though, and am concerned that in the animation one of my lines looks a little empty - which is the main reason why I should not buy such a thing as I'd be forever checking it!

Wonder how accurate it is. I emailed Peter Hicks some time ago about an OpenTrainTimes map of the underground and he indicated that at that time what data was available was not very reliable. Peter I identify as half man half biscuit - crumbs! Log in to reply |

So it's perhaps not very useful for the purpose of actually following trains, but still good for the sake of having some flashing lights? Log in to reply |

I can think of cheaper ways to achieve that aim
