I would love to see this for Germany :D

Here is the map made by the Swedish transport authority: https://www.trafikverket.se/trafikinformation/tagkarta/

> Signalbox's technology identifies the train a device is on by matching a snapshot of smartphone data to a train’s trajectory data. The technology uses advanced algorithms works even with severely degraded data. We are able to pinpoint a smartphone to any type of train without background location tracking or hardware.

Hmm, that's...interesting?

Checkout the French equivalent : https://carto.tchoo.net. Looks more complete.

Past similar HN submission got no attention, whereas the UK's top page. Interesting !

very cool. Unrelated but anytime im looking at a map be it city roads, rails subway, etc i wish there was a way to filter the layers based on construction date.

I would like to be able to see when each road/section was built. I assume with GoogleEarth and other databases it should be possible to run some kind changelog comparison and do this at scale for at least the last 20 years or so.

This only seems to be standard overground trains. If you add in metro networks like the London tube, or light rail / trams like in Manchester, then you’d get at least hundreds more.

I remember my colleague from MFF UK, Robert Babilon, producing his first real-time map of Czech trains in 2004.

The page, called Babitron, still exists and still keeps that delightful 2004 look. I visited it a few days ago. Unfortunately today there is a message "We are moving Babitron to a different server", so the link isn't working.

Topping out at 10 minutes delay for the most severe marker colour is an interesting choice.
