The position of all swiss trains live

Post by LordOfThePigs »

I was pointed to this cool page from another forum:

http://www.swisstrains.ch

It shows in pseudo-realtime the position of all the trains in switzerland. Their position is based on the schedules and information about the lateness of each train. It's not accurate to the centimeter, but it's still quite impressive and interesting.
Sometimes I'm told "Brilliant"...
Sometimes I'm told "Charming"...
And Often I'm told "Shut Up"!

Hmm, I think there was a version of the dutch rail system too, I don't know it's link though. What I do know is that it also showed the amounts of trains atm and the total trains per hour or sth, and some other funky stats.
