New Tube Map - Some Big Changes

[Edgemaster]

If you want copies of the WTT then all you have to do is ask

http://www.tfl.gov.uk/foi/

Mine will be in the post shortly, out of interest, has anyone else gone this far?
I know it's practically useless on the tube, as it hardly runs to schedule, but it strikes me as a useful tool to carry around for the less frequently served sections.

Quite a few of us ordered them a few years ago - there is a thread on here about it somewhere. Although they are interesting to have, they are not really necessary as the times are in the Journey Planner anyway.

I prefer a pre-printed booklet, rather than having to use that web interface. (Although, yes, I do know the way to make scripted request against its internal API, but that's beside the point if you have no internet access and haven't preplanned that precicely)

Is there an API? I've been using cURL/php to scrape the times off and it works pretty well...

Well, API in so much as you can get it to give you back XML rather than HTML.
I've been told that since it's third party software that TfL use, they may not even know about it...

I'll add that I've not tried it personally (or any scraping against the JourneyPlanner - no need yet.. I like to go by intuition) but the info comes from a reliable source.

For a moment then I thought that you were sending yourselves up with those acronyms; then I realised that you were being serious.

I always rip them by parsing the HTML, but if it's easy to get them in XML instead - great! Could you point me/others in any useful direction on how to do that?
