Mudchute Waterloo and City Line Busy? Try this hack

Upvotes

Simply go back one stop, cross the platform and go in the opposite direction. The underground tends to be less busy if you go back a stop and get back on - guaranteed a seat!

Website A huge thanks to this community. You've helped shape TubeBoard v1.2

Hi again, Olly here, the developer of TubeBoard.

I shared my app here recently and got some extremely thoughtful and useful feedback which has shaped the next version of the app which is now live on the app store, and I wanted to come back with an update and say thank you ❤️.

The big additions are all six London Overground lines, Follow a Train with route progress and sharing, new ways to compare departures at a station, and Apple Watch widgets. There is also a clearer introduction and a round of fixes for widgets and Live Activities.

The comments and feedback on my last post where incredible and I am so thankful to anyone who takes the time to try my app out and come back here to share feedback.

I would love to hear how 1.2 works on your actual commute. Does the new board layout help? Is the route view clear? Is there a station where the information still feels unhelpful?

For a bug, the line/station, device and what you expected versus what happened are especially useful.

App Store: https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/tubeboard-live-departures/id6779771046

Thanks again for trying something made by an independent developer.

Survey A Survey for my University dissertation

Upvotes

Hi Everyone, I thought this would be an appropriate place to ask about this as it is the London Underground subreddit. I am currently writing a Geography BA Thesis on Understanding Commuting patterns in London and what influences their change and specifically the impact of the Elizabeth line. Your contribution to my research would be very my appreciated. It also goes without saying that you will have complete anonymity in filling this survey out and a google sign in is not required and I have had ethical clearance from my University. Thank You!
