It looks like a fun project. I did notice something odd in the example on your github page: $ tubemaps path --from "Euston" --to "Hammersmith" # Piccadilly Line: Hammersmith to Barons Court # Piccadilly Line: Barons Court to Earl's Court # Piccadilly Line: Earl's Court to Gloucester Road # Piccadilly Line: Gloucester Road to South Kensington # Piccadilly Line: South Kensington to Knightsbridge # Piccadilly Line: Knightsbridge to Hyde Park Corner # Piccadilly Line: Hyde Park Corner to Green Park # Victoria Line: Green Park to Oxford Circus # Victoria Line: Oxford Circus to Warren Street # Victoria Line: Warren Street to Euston It may just be me, but it seems you have "from" and "to" reversed? (NOTE: Trusting my judgement on such directional things tends to be a bad bet since I'm ambidextrous and dyslectic --I don't know left from right, and for me, it often doesn't matter. ;)

  You just spot a nice bug! I posted as soon as I completed 1.0.0. I will absolutely update this no! Update: solved in 1.0.2 :)

What's the time column mean in this dataset (I'm guessing these connections only happen during a certain time range indicated by the ID)? https://github.com/nicola/tubemaps/blob/master/datasets/london.connections.csv https://github.com/nicola/tubemaps/blob/master/datasets/lond...

  This is the time it takes from one station to another. This is not my dataset, but I have been told this when I was give, I will let you know very soon!

We're doing something similar in JS/Raphael. Currently working on many more cities around the world. http://www.findproperly.co.uk/tube-map.php http://www.findproperly.co.uk/tube-map.php In fact the station data looks to be from the same source but we added more stations if you're interested. This older project is also similar https://github.com/benbarnett/SVG-Tube-Map https://github.com/benbarnett/SVG-Tube-Map
