deck.gl based visualiser of the TFL Api + National Rails to be able to track (with minimal drift) a train along the way in London and to the nearest airports. If you pick one from any platform in https://nexttrain.london basically you can share your train journey along the rails. Build to test Cloudflare workers and their infra along with deck.gl performance that is incredible in my opinion.

It would appear you are missing the High Barnet branch of the Northern line.

Very nice, but the map seems to be in the wrong position vs. the trains/3d elements.

This is really cool!

Quick suggestion: When not tracking a train, the mouse wheel should zoom into / out from where the cursor is pointing, rather than the center of the window.

The planes were a surprise

I'm curious what the 3D model source is - the Gherkin is kinda weird.
