London Transport status in your terminal.

tfl: London Transport status in your terminal.

A little bash script to show the current status of London transport, as reported by TFL. Useful for those who live in London, UK, because the dynamic nature of London transport is probably worth a dedicated Linux command.

Example output (at a typical weekend):

$ tfl
Bakerloo            Good service
Central             Good service
Circle              Good service
District            Part closure
DLR                 Part closure
Hammersmith & City  Part closure
Jubilee             Good service
London Overground   Reduced service
Metropolitan        Good service
Northern            Good service
Piccadilly          Good service
TfL Rail            Good service
Tram                Part closure
Victoria            Good service
Waterloo & City     Good service

Installation

Just copy the tfl file to a directory from your $PATH environment variable.

Dependencies:

sudo apt install html-xml-utils

Status

The script has been tested on Linux Mint 19.1, and it will probably work on other Ubuntu-based distributions as well. Since the script is based on some naïve web-scraping it may break at any time.
