Thanks, it's just raw js canvas and msgpack on the api to use less bandwidth

Hi everyone, I built cspend.uk which is a free site that combines over 24 million published payments from all London boroughs and councils into one fast, searchable database. You can search by supplier, description, amount, date, borough, etc, filter/sort results, and skip the hassle of separate CSV files or PDFs per council. It's a side project to make public spending data easier to explore so that people can check where council tax goes. Feedback welcome: Is this helpful? What would you search for? Any improvements or issues? Found anything funny or interesting?

Updated the title it was a bit misleading!

Potentially using the live arrivals APIs and seeing when its right now, not 100% it would work but might be worth a shot

Im thinking it might be better to revisit the project and analyse long term patterns in bus arrivals

I used this exact API extensively for both buses and tubes :)

I tried a route from a London tube station to Newcastle train station and it found one on the frontend for the tool so I think it may support national rail

It looks like TFL's journey planner API has the ability to do some of these national rail trips, only tested a few though
