Most popular stations and journeys

The telltrains forums are now online, and we’ve recently added the most popular stations

As you would expect London, Manchester, Liverpool, Birmingham, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Reading and Brighton

make the top 10. Some of the surprises are Stevenage and Portsmouth, I wouldn’t have expected these guys to beat Clapham Junction.

Maps for stations

Though the station names suggestion list has a location for each of the stations.

For example: if you type newp

you get this list

• Newport (Gwent, Wales)
• Newport (Essex, South East England)

I really like the idea of looking at a map to get the feel for where the place is.

So for the stations where I have a lat/long available I’ve added a map link, if you click on it, it’ll show you the map of the place.

Suggesting station names

Over the past couple of days I’ve been working on the station names list. Everyone loves google suggest, so I decided that it would be a cool thing to have the same thing for stations. So instead of typing a name and then searching and then picking out the “proper” name from a list, you can just type in the name and pick the station you want to travel from.
