Need viz examples of each
A generic overview, but what about detail
[could have some arrows with oddities pointed out eg hi freq Northern line south, better freq on E District line than any other 'out of town' line, Bayswater and Old Street are lowest frequency cent London stations] A spatial, nontemporal analysis
Xx legend xX Red is short waiting time Yellow is long waiting time
How does tube frequency vary across the network over the course of a day?
Starting up – low frequency everywhere
Service gets going – good performance for main routes
Still improving
Lower freq in early afternoon
Freq picks up for late afternoon
Tailing off in evening
Let’s drill down to one station. What’s its expected profile (grey) What are the recent conditions (brown) Last 24hrs was generally better than expected, but what went wrong at 1400-1500?
So we can do a
For last last hour, how has performance been, relatively to expected Green higher freq Orange – as expected Ref lower freq - problems
Southern loop of circle line has problems – avoid?
