A rather good animated GIF of a busy section of tube line (5.8MB) that I
saw illustrating an article about commuting:

Interesting variation in the results from different browsers. Internet
Explorer (IE9) runs through the animation in 5 seconds. Chrome does it
in about 1½ seconds. Firefox won't show it at all; it gives a code 403
error (access denied).


That's because the line with the URL was folded and you ended up with
the wrong link. If you make sure the full URL is used, with no spaces,
it works fine in Firefox. It takes about 1.5 secs.
