Checkout the French equivalent : https://carto.tchoo.net https://carto.tchoo.net.
Looks more complete.
Past similar HN submission got no attention, whereas the UK's top page. Interesting !

- KlutzySofa 3mo agoThe title matters a lot. Without "real-time" this submission has likely gotten the same lack of attention.
- Shywim 3mo agoNote that carto.tchoo does not provide real position in real-time: it only has access to departures, stops, delays and suppressions and interpolate position based on this. This means that if your train is running at half-speed or stopped but does not result in an official delay, the position will not match reality.

- windowliker 3mo agoThat's no surprise. The French equivalent of anything rail related is always more complete than the UK.

- spacedcowboy 3mo agoIs the interesting part the upvotes, meaning there's more people interested in UK train networks than French ones ? And it's a comment on demographics ? Or is the interesting part that the UK one is real-time, and the French one isn't (or at least, zooming in, I don't see them moving).
- goodcanadian 3mo agoIt may simply be that the language of HN is English, so more people here are, in fact, interested in UK train networks. The moving bits on this site are guesstimated based on schedules and delays and not based on real position information.
