Hungarian Railways' Live Countrywide Map

Just to add to the list, we have this in Norway: https://togkart.banenor.no/

Train movements between stations are simulated based on the expected speed between two points and not based on GPS tracks, sadly, so it's not very useful if you want to check whether your train is stuck (say, due to traffic or signal failures). Notice that the circles representing trains occasionally move at unnaturally high speeds -- this presumably happens when a train enters a station and its location is corrected. It would certainly be useful to be able to see the actual real-time location of a train and not just the approximate location (and I'd assume that at least some of the maps from other countries are indeed based on real-time GPS data!) -- this exists for buses in Oslo (only available in the public transport company's app, unfortunately) and it's nice to know for sure whether you'll have to run to catch your bus or not.

(Several years ago when looking into the possibility of creating a real-time train map, I read that certain train operators and/or the national government considers publishing the exact locations of trains to be a security risk, so unless opinions on this have changed I don't have high hopes that we're getting it soon.)

For the UK, quite a good one, can see trains moving from zoomed out https://www.map.signalbox.io/

Would love to see something similar for Switzerland. This page (referred to in another thread): https://maps.vasile.ch/transit-sbb/ is NOT a live map, just an animation based on timetable data.

There were a couple of instances last summer where SBB went belly up (remember that day when a locomotive caught fire while standing still at Altstetten station?), and total chaos ensued. It'd be nice to see which trains are late (in realtime) and which routes to take to avoid problem spots. Around Zurich you usually have at least 2-3 options between points A and B, so people could just be rerouted to the next best route.

Here is the Finnish one

I couldn’t find any info if it is based gps data or time tables but I have checked and seen my train that was late being stopped where it in reality was (waiting for another train that was late to pass on a 1 track line)

Transport tycoon in the Netherlands is played by 4 or 5 competitors. You can see make out their coloring and general area of operation on this map too.

Fun fact: In the Netherlands you have to make sure you 'checkin' to the right transportation company, some stations have 3 checkin posts. Very annoying and embarrassing and error prone.

Real cool, thanks for the link! Wish we had something similar for our national railway network here in neighboring Romania.

And one good thing that will be brought by us (Romania) finally getting into Schengen this year (God- and Austria-permit) would be that the rail connections between Romania and Hungary would become much more common, especially the regional ones. I can see a Salonta - Békéscsaba ride on this map that I had no idea about, hopefully we'll get much more of those into the future.

Here's a similar site for Bulgaria: https://radar.bdz.bg/en

For Hungary, there is another which shows freight trains and single locomotives, too: https://iemig.mav-trakcio.hu/

Seeing as everyone is posting other countries' live railway maps, here is Denmark's: https://www.rejseplanen.dk/bin/help.exe/mn?L=vs_livemap&tpl=...

Here is the rather sad one for the US.

French one.

For Austria you can see all trains, buses, subway and some other stuff here: https://anachb.vor.at/ (Kartenoptionen -> Livemap -> Alle einblenden)

I got curious if there is one for Poland; apparently, there is: https://portalpasazera.pl/en/MapaOL

I think the big feature here is that the biggest visual factor is the punctuality. Funny seeing this posted here as Hun railways are famous for delays/antiquated tech/bad management, even though it seems rather fine currently.

When viewing the German version, almost all regional trains have delays, a lot 20-30 minutes even. Having the huge swarm of trains all as red dots overlaid on the country map would be an easy, damning visual representation of the situation.

As everyone is posting, a similar one exists for Belgium: https://trainmap.belgiantrain.be/

(It is not 100% live, "The train positions are calculated based on timetables, real time info and prognoses.")

Also fun are international trains, which are shown, but there is no map outside of Belgium.

I'd love a list of other services like this - or even more ambitiously executed than this - globally. I'd bet there are some really interesting uses of open transport data.

Czech Railway network live map is at https://grapp.spravazeleznic.cz/

Berlin and Brandenburg in Germany: https://www.vbb.de/fahrinfo/ (need to enable it in the top right corner). Includes ICE, regional, suburban trains, subway, trams, buses and ferries.

As a digital nomad living in Europe I absolutely love this stuff.

Unfortunately my own home country of Sweden has a 3rd party unofficial version: https://1409.se/trains/Rst

Has anyone tried consolidating all these national trackers into a big European one?

Finnish railway company VR also has a nice live tracker https://www.vr.fi/en/live-train-tracker-map

Russian trains is here: https://rasp.yandex.ru/map/trains/

Similar one for Slovakia: https://meskanievlakov.info/mapa/

I hate that there's no public service for this stuff in Italy.

I'd love to see one of those for all of the EU.
