Presumably the two-letter code for the squiggle squiggle language, which
a squiggle squiggle reader should know. The site goes blank for unknown
codes, which is bad implementation.

I don't believe that this site is designed to facilitate calling it as a
URL in languages other than German - the default language.


What are you smoking?

You seriously think that TfL's website's default language is GERMAN?


Properly written it should, where possible, default to whatever language you
have selected in "Tools" "Internet options" "Languages" (assuming you are
using IE, other browsers will have similar functionality).

Though the chances of that are, of course, slim to none.

No, it defaults to German, even from my UK iPad
