From today, following a period of testing, Wansteadium is offering live Tube information for Snaresbrook and Wanstead stations. The list of trains, visible on the right, shows destinations and number of minutes from the station. It is drawn from feeds provided by TfL and so should in theory be as accurate as the departure boards on the platforms. Source information updates every minute, but you will need to refresh the page to get the updated times.
Wansteadium hopes the residents of Wanstead and Snaresbrook find this useful. Your comments are welcome, via the form below or directly at wansteadium[at]gmail.com.
(Thanks to TfL for being enlightened with its data, and to developer Akshay Raje.)

Back to Wanstead via Leytonstone. It’s like driving through East Berlin to get to West Berlin.

Good News: Redbridge Council is in the process of replacing the rope seat on the new playground swing in Christchurch Green.
Bad News: The rope *was* cut in two by vandals, less than 24 hours after the swing was installed on Friday. It was this that caused the spiked brackets to be revealed after they worked themselves loose. No parents complained to the council about the swing until Sunday, the council told Wansteadium, “may be because people using the equipment didn’t realise the rope was not meant to be in two pieces”. As our video, taken on Saturday morning, shows, the swing of two parts – though not the original design – made for a perfectly enjoyable playground toy that children were lining up to have a go on, perhaps in part because the frayed rope looked like a horse’s mane.
The council told us:
“The equipment is designed to comply with current British Safety Standards and as the rope is 10 inches thick, it wouldn’t have been easy to cut. It is also tested during the design phase to ensure that it is robust and suitable for purpose. The manufacturers have been contacted and we are in the process of replacing the rope.”
So this leaves these questions dangling:
