- A similar train map of The Netherlands that has existed for a long time, but is geographical instead of schematic, and provides a live view of trains (based on the schedule) instead of a day in the past: https://spoorkaart.mwnn.nl
- If you're ever in the Netherlands, you HAVE to checkout Amsterdam's Lelylaan station. Absolutely beautiful.
- A proper simulator would cancel most of the trains whenever the weather changes. Dutch trains fail whenever:
* There's leaves on the rails
* It snows
* It's too cold
* It's too hot
* rand(1, 10) > 7
On top of that, there's protests and strikes.
by tosti - Cool view ! For France, I've built the first interactive map of all* public transports.
You just zoom on a zone and see the network (the bluish polygons) pop-up, clickable.
Representing trains, that all share a common way but with very different schedules and destinations, is hard. No map is good, all do compromises. Hence I've delayed representing trains, it's too hard.

* well most, those that are published in GTFS.
by maelito - Very nice.
It seems the 25kV https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betuweroute is missing. Although mostly used for freight and therefor no or other type of schedule, it would be nice if it was projected at least.
by smartbit - Being able to collapse the left sidebar would go a long way to improve mobile experience. Currently it's unusable on mobile.by flexagoon
- Nice.
But don’t try on mobile screen. It seems that a lot of vibe coders forget (or just skip it) to add to prompt “do a mobile version of website as well”.
by sixtyj - The Netherlands might not have the most extensive or fast rail network, but it's frequencies are pretty much unbeatable. In some places it runs more as a metro network than a heavy rail one. This visualisation shows that nicely!by tcumulus
