A bit buggy in term of tiles jonctions

Interesting but quite buggy. Example: mouse dragging seems trapped in a fairly small area.

I'd love to see a view with all/many trains. In London I was constantly wondering what the criss-cross of underground lines looked like.

There seems to be some parallax issues between your trip layer and your 3D Tiles layer, but nice usage of deck.gl.

It would appear you are missing the High Barnet branch of the Northern line.

Very nice, but the map seems to be in the wrong position vs. the trains/3d elements.

Having just taken the Elisabeth Line to LHR T5 and sitting here, this was fun. Thanks.

Edit: Is there a Repo to look at and learn from this?

This is really cool!

Quick suggestion: When not tracking a train, the mouse wheel should zoom into / out from where the cursor is pointing, rather than the center of the window.

This is incredibly cool. I had it open on my desktop for most of the day.

I'm curious what the 3D model source is - the Gherkin is kinda weird.

The train paths are drawn on a 2D layer above the buildings, not at z-index that matches the proper 3-D position. So the paths appear to weave around and over the tops of buildings.
