Tokyo

Y. Katagiri sent the route for the new Tsukuba Express in Tokyo (Japan), whose service will start on August 24th, as well as a minor change on an existing line and two previously missing lines.

MetrO "smart" download

On a suggestion by M. Mills, I have added the option to select all the cities in a country with a single click (on the checkbox attached to the country name): smart download page.

Paris (works)

There is quite a number of changes on the Paris subway network this week-end: Belleville is (supposedly) re-opened, the works on line 5 are suspended in August and line 14 will be partially closed next week (to prepare the future extension to Olympiades).

The next version is planned next week-end.

Download the new files:

• Paris-travaux (complete rail network)
• Paris-full-travaux (inner city subway, bus and RER networks - not usable on a Palm device)

London (special)

Some news on the current state of the tube network in London:

• The District line service is fully restored
• There is no service on the Hammersmith & City line between Edgware Road & Hammersmith until Monday (inclusive) but a replacement bus is available.

Glasgow

S. Macdonald sent me some places of interest (with detailed information) for Glasgow (Scotland, UK). I also corrected some minor errors on the file.

New York (USA)

It appears some changes occured on the subway service in New York (USA) last May and I was not aware of them. Will reported a change on line N but there may be more...

Kazan

Another city will soon start operation on its firts subway line: Kazan (Russia). I even tried to build a version in russian ;-)

Nanjing

The new subway in Nanjing (China) will soon start regular operation on its first line: it is time to build a database for that city!

Luxembourg

G. Heinen sent an update for line 6 in Luxembourg, which is quite wrong in the current version.

Osaka

Following a mail from A. Groves, I have realized some connections were missing on the monorail line in Osaka (Japan). This was affecting both the Osaka file and the more complete Kyoto-Osaka database.

Kuala Lumpur

J. Mokhtar notified me of a change on the Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia) network: a new stop has opened (one year ago...).

London (special)

As planned, the London tube service has changed this morning: download the update file here.

Updated at 10:40 (GMT), since the information on the TFL web site got less confusing.

London (special)

Yet another update for the London special file (use the link from the post below).

Tomorrow, the Metropolitan line will run again to Aldgate. I will publish a new file late this evening or early tomorrow.

MetrO 5.3.4 in progress

After a long period without any spare time, I took a few hours today for coding :-)

I have tried to improve the text - lists synchronization feature:
- The current text entry is highlighted in the POI list (as well as in the complete stop list and the contacts list).
- Instead of opening the complete stop list on the first character entered (when there is no list on screen), the contact list is displayed if the current entry starts with an '@'.
- And other minor enhancements.

I just need to check that those changes do not have a negative impact on performance...

London (special)

It looks like the service is improving on the London tube service: download the update file here.
