So far I've only found a discussion in N810:
http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php...light=tube+app
However, recently on my Blackberry, I installed a couple of free apps: TubeBuddy (live departure boards and where trains are) and Tube (which is also available on iphone). Both use data from tfl.gov.uk apparently.
The latter (Tube) seems much nicer as it has a scrollable map (on a friends iphone you scroll around with touch rather than the rollerball). You can choose route planner which tells you where you need to change stations and lines. That part shouldn't be too difficult as it's just a database, however the actual time of travel will take longer, unless they just use a set interval between stations.
Anyway, the latter has adverts, which is a little annoying but for a free app, it's ok I guess.
Is there any similar app that could be made for the N900? I have a jpeg/gif image I used before in my N82 which can be downloaded from the tfl.gov.uk site, but a nice fancy app would be nice too
