Tube map this morning

Fucking England. Why can't we sell all our transport infrastructure to the French?

 

An inch of snow and the entire transport network in the south-east collapses into anarchy.

 

That said, this really is the best piece of UI design I've ever seen. It's Transport for London's real-time tube map and all the lines are greyed out, unless there's a problem, when they show up in their normal colour.

 

It's perfect, because anyone who uses London's transport enough to check how fucked it is can just glance at it for a moment and see whether or not their journey is gonna be like this morning's or not.

 

Love it.

 

Except this morning.
