Last week a new online map of the London Underground was revealed, and it shows\u00a0exactly which trains are where at any given time.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>When you open the map you\u2019ll see all the familiar squiggly coloured lines (red for Central, dark blue for Piccadilly, etc) and stations represented by\u00a0dots. On each line, there\u00a0darker lines representing the trains move from one station to the next in real-time. Pretty cool, eh?\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>That means you can watch all the Underground traffic, including any delays or blockages, as it happens. It\u2019s also just fun to play around with.\u00a0If you zoom in, you can watch the trains snaking around a green 3D topography of the city. You can even recognise buildings like the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.timeout.com\/london\/attractions\/houses-of-parliament-1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Houses of Parliament<\/a>, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.timeout.com\/london\/things-to-do\/london-eye\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">London Eye<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.timeout.com\/london\/attractions\/tower-bridge\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tower Bridge.<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"00fda026-e21b-7fbf-cbcf-c3f5a2beeec2\" class=\"photo lazy inline\" loading=\"lazy\" data-component=\"lazy-embed\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/1744673233_86_image.webp.webp\" alt=\"Live 3D map of London Underground\" data-caption=\"\" data-credit=\"Image: londonunderground.live\" data-width-class=\"\" data-image-id=\"106264094\"\/>&#13;<br \/>\nImage: londonunderground.live&#13;<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s more! Hover over the moving trains and a little information box pops up telling you the exact model of the train, where it\u2019s going to and from, the percentage of its journey that it\u2019s completed and the exact times (to the second) that it is expected at its next two or three stops.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The map was created by engineer and writer Ben James using TfL\u2019s open data. Next time you\u2019ve got a long Northern line journey ahead of you, why not make it more exciting by watching as you zoom under all of London\u2019s landmarks?<\/p>\n<p><strong>\ud83d\ude87 You <a href=\"https:\/\/www.londonunderground.live\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">see\u00a0the real-time map for yourself here<\/a>.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Mapped: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.timeout.com\/london\/news\/mapped-how-much-it-costs-to-rent-at-every-london-tube-station-in-2025-013025\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">how much it costs to rent at every London tube station in 2025<\/a>.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Plus: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.timeout.com\/uk\/news\/inside-1-billion-plans-for-the-welsh-tube-041325\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">inside plans for a \u2018Welsh tube\u2019<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Stay in the loop:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.timeout.com\/uk\/newsletter?cid=uk~editorial~acquisition~newsletter~contentlink\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">sign up to our free Time Out UK newsletter<\/a>\u00a0for the latest UK news and the best stuff happening across the country.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Tube nerds have got a new toy.
