This is so amazing that we had to share it.
Traintimes.org has taken the publicly available data from Transport for London and created a map of London with a live overly of the location of every Tube train on the entire network, in real time.
It’s hypnotic to watch. I almost want to make it my desktop background. It’s so cool to watch London move in real time.

They look like miniature PacMans!
it is a GIF! Repeating itself… not live at all
You need to click the link in the article to go to the live map… The image at the top is just a representation…
Fascinating but as a train nerd myself I find you could drive a tank through its accuracy. They’ve got trains going ‘off-piste’ passing through Hyde Park (the park itself not The Corner), trains labelled as District Line for Heathrow T4, when they don’t even go there, and large chunks of the network either misplaced (e.g. The Piccadilly does not go through South Acton) or missing,(e.g. The Circle spur from Paddington to Hammersmith, The Circle between High St Ken and Paddington), and these are just for the parts of London I know best. I could go on….but mercifully won’t!
