UK 2022 rail station flow images
- mfbx9da4 3y agoUnless I'm being really dumb I don't see an image, all I see is this https://pasteboard.co/hxSXWlzyFepX.png https://pasteboard.co/hxSXWlzyFepX.png
- iso1631 3y agogithub have stopped the repo, was working earlier
- bob1029 3y agoThis page is completely hosing my iOS Safari client. GitHub made a huge mistake with their client side rendering rework. I get stuff like this multiple times a day now.
- hhh 3y agono issues here, latest ios
- avianlyric 3y agoHonestly I think the issues is more likely iOS safari. Been noticing an increasing number of rendering, navigation, and memory exhaustion issues in newer versions of iOS.
- toyg 3y ago[flagged]
- jimjambw 3y agoWhat version of iOS/which iPhone? 12 Pro Max here on 17.1.2 and having no issues.
- jimlikeslimes 3y agoIf you're wondering what to click and not from the UK: Paddington (busy station): https://github.com/anisotropi4/kingfisher/blob/main/image/P/PAD-rail.png https://github.com/anisotropi4/kingfisher/blob/main/image/P/... Penzance (rural endpoint): https://github.com/anisotropi4/kingfisher/blob/main/image/P/PNZ-rail.png https://github.com/anisotropi4/kingfisher/blob/main/image/P/...
- ExoticPearTree 3y agoSo it displays the number of people that transit through a specific station? Or is it the station "reach"?
- avianlyric 3y agoIt’s the number of passengers that traveled from a specific station to any other station in UK. Passengers are assumed to have taken the shortest rail route from station A to B. Which is interesting, because it might not have been the fastest route. For example there are a few different routes between Euston and Crewe, and I don’t think the fastest non-stopping trains take the shortest route.
- VBprogrammer 3y agoYeah, I noticed that there was no link from Edinburgh to Glasgow on the East Coast mainline from my local station. Presumably the passengers that took this route were assumed to have taken the West Coast Mainline.
- mytailorisrich 3y agoSomeone adventurous did Wick-Bodmin Parkway... I hope he's arrived by now.
- midasuni 3y agoCrewe does take the shorted route - Stafford, Trent valley, then bypassing rugby. The cheap trains do the same route and just stop along the way. The ticket itself is valid for say journey into Birmingham, soend the day, then continue via Banbury to Marylebone. I’ve done that myself several times, but it’s a minor flow compared to the direct train. Manchester to London - at least pre covid, had 3 trains per hour, one via Crewe which was slightly longer, the others via Stoke.
- buro9 3y agothe explanation of this is in the main repo https://github.com/anisotropi4/kingfisher/tree/main https://github.com/anisotropi4/kingfisher/tree/main it's the passenger journey data overlaid on the map of tracks, where the thickness is number of journeys. so drilling into a station like EXD (Exeter St David's) shows lines going to Aberdeen... there is no route between Exeter and Aberdeen, this is just a journey involving multiple changes. so what you're seeing for a station is where people travel to, and the volume of journeys on those segments of line, given the station as a starting point. I couldn't trivially determine whether it reflects all through journeys for a station (start point, destination point, stop on an through journey), it may well do so.
- VBprogrammer 3y agoUnfortunately, for a quiet station I think the weighing is hard to interpret. From a station near me, say Addlestone, I would bet that > 95% of passengers were heading into one of the London stations. However, because the relative number of passengers is still low there isn't a great difference between that and Addlestone to Glasgow.
- jayelbe 3y agoThere's one direct train between Exeter St Davids - Aberdeen every day Mon-Sat, in each direction. It takes something like 10½hrs. If you join the train at Plymouth (the start of the journey) it's 11½hrs, and the longest possible train journey you can make in the UK without changing.
- buro9 3y agowow, TIL (thank you)
- lmm 3y ago> It takes something like 10½hrs. If you join the train at Plymouth (the start of the journey) it's 11½hrs, and the longest possible train journey you can make in the UK without changing. You're probably thinking of the direct train from Aberdeen to Penzance (not just Plymouth), which does stop in Exeter. However that one only runs in that direction, not the reverse.
- gumballindie 3y ago[flagged]
- darajava 3y agoI think the stations are very clean and service of the trains in the UK are very good generally.
- Karellen 3y agoIs there another time/place you're comparing it to, specifically?
- vorticalbox 3y agoother than avanti[0] which are normally running late > 10 minutes which is long enough to miss most connections. [0] https://www.avantiwestcoast.co.uk/about-us/performance https://www.avantiwestcoast.co.uk/about-us/performance
- ta1243 3y agoAccording to your stats, 78% of the time they run, they are less than 10 minutes late, and most of the time ("normally") if they run they arrive within 3 minutes
- vorticalbox 3y agomaybe I have just been extremely unlucky last year.
- walthamstow 3y agoDepends where you are. I agree with you, but I live in London. London and the rest of the UK are different countries. We have wonderful things like Thameslink and the Overground network. When I visit my in-laws up north, it's not quite like that.
- gumballindie 3y ago
- stby 3y agoThe complicated part (visualising the number of passengers on the correct paths) was done well, but I'm really missing the simple part: Placing a little marker where the initial station is located.
- hencoappel 3y agoWaterloo is rendered quite hilariously https://github.com/anisotropi4/kingfisher/blob/main/image/W/WAT-rail.png https://github.com/anisotropi4/kingfisher/blob/main/image/W/...
- darajava 3y agothe shape must come from Waterloo to Bank, which is very close to Waterloo and has its own line.
- walthamstow 3y agoThe tube isn't included, only railways
- Symbiote 3y agoThough someone who lived in London a long time ago could make this mistake, as until 1994 the Waterloo and City line was owned and run by British Rail. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waterloo_%26_City_line https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waterloo_%26_City_line The thick line is Waterloo to Clapham Junction.
- NoboruWataya 3y agoWAT, indeed.
- walthamstow 3y agoThe most interesting part for me was seeing that the London to Brighton flow is just as thick as that of the East Coast and West Coast main lines. Presumably due to Thameslink and the sheer frequency of Victoria/Croydon to Brighton trains on Southern.
- adulion 3y agoIts not UK- its Great Britain- Doesnt include northern ireland data
- chris-orgmenta 3y agohttps://www.railmaponline.com/UKIEMap.php https://www.railmaponline.com/UKIEMap.php is also an invaluable resource. Also, The National Library of Scotland has old OS maps in a pretty nice interface, in case useful: https://maps.nls.uk/os/ https://maps.nls.uk/os/
- xnorswap 3y agoMy favourite: https://github.com/anisotropi4/kingfisher/blob/main/image/R/RYP-rail.png https://github.com/anisotropi4/kingfisher/blob/main/image/R/... What's perhaps odd (if it's based on sales as some have suggested) is that Shanklin also doesn't show any traffic beyond the Island Line despite it being possible to buy a ticket from the mainland which includes the ferry crossing.
- Symbiote 3y agoPerhaps a fault with the rendering, as the source data includes these journeys (see my other comment). Ryde and Shanklin stations have thousands of journeys to London and elsewhere.
- bloopernova 3y agoThese make GB look like the blood vessels in an eye scan, or the surface of the brain. Who looked for their childhood stations? Basingstoke, and Wood Street are shown, either end of the journey to visit my Nan. It feels like I could retrace the trip blindfolded. (Oldish person, please forgive the reminiscing)
- Symbiote 3y agoI think the source data is here, under an Open Government licence, but annoyingly it's necessary to register with a name and address etc. to download it: https://raildata.org.uk/dataProduct/P-a9faf6fd-b31f-491c-935a-f4ab3ffa5890/overview https://raildata.org.uk/dataProduct/P-a9faf6fd-b31f-491c-935... Though someone is redistributing it (which is allowed) here: https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/orr-origin-destination-matrix-2021-22.258641/ https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/orr-origin-destination-...

Console complains about: Content-Security-Policy: The page’s settings blocked the loading of a resource at https://media.githubusercontent.com.x.e4303b4d0615604a6b08d990ba444774d8a2.9270fc41.id.opendns.com/s/media.githubusercontent.com/media/anisotropi4/kingfisher/main/image/A/ACY-rail.png?X-OpenDNS-Session=_e4303b4d0615604a6b08d990ba444774d8a29270fc41_g2njZpNq_ https://media.githubusercontent.com.x.e4303b4d0615604a6b08d9...

- matsemann 3y agoI can't get the images to work in neither Firefox or Chrome. Worked a few hours ago, though.
- once_inc 3y agoI'm going to go out on a limb here and state that the Flow image for King's Cross (https://github.com/anisotropi4/kingfisher/blob/main/image/K/KGX-rail.png https://github.com/anisotropi4/kingfisher/blob/main/image/K/...) does not, in fact, reveal the location of Hogwarts School for Witchcraft and Wizardry.
- zeristor 3y agoAny stats for London St Pancras to Paris, Bruges, Amsterdam, or Lille?
- zeristor 3y agoAt least on TfL there are constant apologies for delays caused by a Shortage of Trains. Might I suggest that the collective nouns be a Shortage? Along with a Plight of Commuters.
- rthkljlkrj 3y ago[dead]
- zeristor 3y agoCurriehill close to Heriot-Watt University but seemingly ignored. I am guessing the backroad to the University doesn't really have the capacity to take committing students, but it always struck me as a missed opportunity. That and being kept awake at night by express trains going through, it is like there's rail blindness, at least when I was there a decade or so ago.
- michalskop 3y agoCan anyone explain how to see the images? All I can see is text, something like: ``` version https://git-lfs.github.com/spec/v1 https://git-lfs.github.com/spec/v1 oid sha256:c113251a7c1a67eff152777018926de038c3a78723ec16b611a45a030b8b4d8b size 294284 ``` https://github.com/anisotropi4/kingfisher/blob/main/image/A/ABW-rail.png https://github.com/anisotropi4/kingfisher/blob/main/image/A/...
- Carioca 3y agoI'm pretty sure Github disabled image downloads for that repo in the last few minutes.
- aranw 3y agoEven when you download the repo the images don't render
- Carioca 3y agoAs agoose77 said on another comment, Github probably disabled the whole LFS (Large File Storage) for that repo
- thih9 3y agoIs the LFS enabled for the forked repositories? I can't log in and I don't have a way to view the list of forks.
- stedaniels 3y agoIt wasn't when I tried it earlier.
- deleted 3y ago[deleted]
- agoose77 3y agoI suspect that their LFS bandwidth has been exhausted, so now one only sees the LFS metadata.
- iso1631 3y agoDoes github frequently break repositories like this?
