Real-time 3D London Underground trains using the TFL API
Live 3D train tracking is technically neat but ultimately a novelty with limited utility.

Post Description
deck.gl based visualiser of the TFL Api + National Rails to be able to track (with minimal drift) a train along the way in London and to the nearest airports. If you pick one from any platform in https://nexttrain.london basically you can share your train journey along the rails. Build to test Cloudflare workers and their infra along with deck.gl performance that is incredible in my opinion.
