Just seen @DrMalcolmMorgan tweet - pretty much the same as that technique. Would be great if someone had one from the original transxchange routelink mapping coordinates/info, then it includes some road curve info, can also group by routes that take the same path AND service ID.

Stop to stop or proper transxchange routelink/mapping shape? After extracting a linebyline format from the transxchange data. github.com/aclong/transx_to_… I wrote an r script that does the stop to stop version (can dig out route shape extraction).

@GISRUK Is it still possible to register to attend GISRUK? The eventbrite registration has expired? (realise I am very late)
Now with labels and highlighted areas
Making basemaps of the West Midlands using OS Open Data using ggplot in R. Often find chloropleth maps without reference to underlying features quite confusing. #WestMidlands #dataviz #maps @OrdnanceSurvey

places people don't go (by public transport) using public transport stops database. Every 2km by 2km cell without a public transport stop is coloured green.

haha. FM was just feeling a bit similar to the day job of data analysis and replying to emails last week.

haha. Yes! Trying to find ways of mapping data that actually make sense.
Does it make sense to map temporal/spatial pattern data using polar charts over space? (Like this but imagine all the pie charts are polar/nightingale charts) #dataviz (chart from here: bit.ly/3pl9PsI )

Ah. Ok, maybe it was a more casual visit on your part. I think I had just been there to see an exhibition of some of Tarkovsky's personal/holiday photos in the basement.

@jayforeman I bumped into you on Store St a while ago and said "i enjoy your videos" or sthing equally inane. After watching thttps://youtu.be/_T_0FYHn0I0 I realise you must have been filming the London model at the building centre. Shame the interactive lighting wasn't working!

Cool. How is the GTFS generated? Is that how it is provided by the transport co. or do you convert the Transxchange version into GTFS? If so, what do you use for the conversion? Is it open source?
