Tom Morris has gone and done us a big favor; he has built a Twitter Tube Tracker:
Every fifteen minutes, my server will check the Tube status and send any delays to the relevant Twitter accounts. You can then quite easily subscribe to individual Tube lines and get updates via whatever means you deem appropriate as you would as a Twitter user.
A neat side effect of this is that there is now Atom and RSS feeds for each Tube line which you can subscribe to and get these updates sent directly to your RSS reader too. Twitter can also serve as a historical home for Tube problems from now on.
And remember – if your Tube train gets delayed, don’t get mad, get a Customer Charter complaints form from your local Tube station, fill it in and get a free Tube journey in return.
