A friend referred me to this website today:

http://www.mackers.com/projects/dartmaps/

It’s a very cool Google Maps hack that scrapes realtime DART position info from Irish Rail’s website and plots it on a Google Map of Dublin.

Be sure to zoom in – you can actually see the trains moving in realtime. Click on a train to find out its destination.

Amazing what you can do with a bit of XML, scripting and some ingenuity…
