No spoof - it's 'done by' Matthew Somerville (and friends), who's also
done an awful lot of other useful web stuff.

The Victoria Line trains were being reported properly - I'm sad enough
to know the timings of my regular morning trains.

It's a bit odd that all the District Line trains appear to be H&C
trains. Inter station run times also seem a bit odd. I recognise it's
not a final swish product so I'm sure those issues will be fixed in due
course. Nonetheless it's rather neat.

Hmm. A few other glitches I see. I've got District train 000 in the middle
of Fulham "Left Hammersmith (D & P) station, expected Parson's Green
Station in 3.5 minutes". I think not. Or "District train (040) (left
Fulham Broadway Station, expected Parson's Green Station in 4.5 minutes)",
"District train (061) (left Putney Bridge Station, expected East Putney
Station in 6 minutes)" and "District train (071) (left Putney Bridge
Station, expected East Putney Station in 3.5 minutes)". That seems like
very generous running times between stations to me.
