www.lunchtimetrains.co.uk uses the Network Rail datafeeds to provide Railway Enthusiasts with live updates of services based on their geographic location.Processing over 6,000 events every 30 seconds, the infrastructure is provisioned using Ansible and Terraform, and uses OpenSource software to consume the datafeeds and a bespoke Python frontend based on the Flask framework to provide up to the minute data on all running train services across the UK.Unlike other sites using the data feeds, Lunchtime Trains only displays services that are actually running, meaning that "spotters" won't have a wasted journey.The site also integrates with third-party services such as Google Maps API, Weather.com and Twillio to keep users updated with SMS alerts when services they are interested in are spotted by other users, and GoCardless integration for membership management.
