Which side the doors open...unifiedAPI?

JamieHaywood,

In the UK, trains and cars both run on the left hand side. This is not always the case in all countries.

This means that in MOST cases, if a station has Island Platfom then the doors open on the right, and where there is an Side Platform the train doors open on the left.

The “famous” exceptions on the Underground are where the running was changed to Right Handed to create for Cross Platform Interchanges

Also there are (a few) stations where you can get out both sides (the “Spanish solution”) such as Platform 3/3a at Stratford.

At most terminal stations you can’t 100% predict which platform a train will arrive at. Some (Victoria Line Walthamstow Central, Brixton and Jubilee Line Stratford 14/15 ) operate a step-back system where the drivers change trains (so the trains can depart quicker than it takes a a train driver to walk the platform length).

This is why, I suspect, this useful dataset isn’t in the API.

There IS an FOI request for the data about the track layouts, which is here

The PDF can be got from here

which looks like this…

There are 3D versions of all the stations in this FOI request…

For example

Thanks @briantist - All this info is really helpful for Jamie and I!
Is there a correlation across the network between platform numbers and which side the doors will open?

We were thinking about possibly using the public facing Trackernet Api to get the platform number a train will be arriving on, then calculate it that way.

For terminating stations we are not concerned, as everyone will be leaving the train.

I think the way they usually work is the most southerly platform is numbered “1”, except where they aren’t (on the DLR).

It’s not that helpful a convention because stations don’t all align east-west.

Short answer: no.

Longer answer: look here Detailled London transport map (track, depot, ...)

Hi,

Me again!

I just remembered this morning, the other site I was going to suggest you could grab the data for left-right opening doors from.

It’s called Clive’s UndergrounD Line Guides Clive's UndergrounD Line Guides

It does have the data about platform numbers and opening sides in it

The pages DO have the platform number data encoded in the alt property if wanted to scrape the data…

Hi Briantist!

Thanks for the comprehensive reply, and sorry for my late reply! Thanks very much for the PDFs and even more for the Davros link!! Saves me manually aggregating the dataset :sweat_smile:

I’ll have a look at scraping the dataset and posting it here!

Here’s my version of the scrape and interpretation.

This would, obvously, be better as a JSON object, but it’s just some plain text for now for debugging.

Hi Briantist!

This is awesome stuff that you’ve done, and honestly beyond the call of duty. I was going through a few of the stations that I frequently pass through, I can see that some of the opening sides are different from scraped data.

Take Hammersmith station on the East&Westbound District line for example:- the data set says that the doors for both directions open on the left, and this is not the case.
I looked at the layout code, and I think it’s been incorrectly translated- W==we==E indicates to me that the “W” for Westbound opens its doors on the right hand side, and the “E” opens on the right hand side.

From the couple of stations I’ve cross-checked, it looks like the opening sides are the other way round. Are you using a switch-case to translate the station layout to the opening side? Would it be easy to update the translation?

Cheers

Jamie

Jamie,

I’ve looked at the “which side is it” code and realised I have forgotten that the top of the page (up, if you like) is “north” on most of the original diagrams, but on the District, it’s West! I’ve updated the JSON and code to reflect this.

My debug code says this now looks right

There had to be a bit of messing around with the data to “fix” things. So I ended up with two functions that did it, so there’s this one to work out which is “north” and “south” for each diagram…

    private static function defineThisLineNorthAndSouth($strLineName, &$N, &$S)
{
    $N = "N";
    $S = "S";
    if ($strLineName == "Jubilee" or $strLineName == "District") {
        $N = "E";
        $S = "W";
    }
    if ($strLineName == "Piccadilly" or $strLineName == "Central" or $strLineName == "District") {
        $N = "W";
        $S = "E";
    }
    if ($strLineName == "DLR") {
        $N = "U";
        $S = "D";
    }
    if ($strLineName == "Circle") {
        $N = "O";
        $S = "I";
    }
}

Then correct the source codes for some stations…

This has been quite … fun.

And then there is Greenford, the only place on the whole system that has a bay platform where both sides are the same number (2).

The east, west malarky was an easy mistake to make! I’m working on simplifying the JSON (as shown below) and eventually build on this with a queryable API.

{
"lines": [
    "hammersmithandcity", [
        {"station":"Hammersmith", "northbound":"left", "southbound":"right"},
        {"station":"Goldhawk Road", "northbound":"left", "southbound":"left"},
        {"station":"Shepherd's Bush Market", "northbound":"left", "southbound":"left"},
        {"station":"Wood Lane", "northbound":"left", "southbound":"left"},
        {"station":"Latimer Road", "northbound":"left", "southbound":"left"},
        {"station":"Ladbrooke Grove", "northbound":"left", "southbound":"left"},
        {"station":"Westbourne Park", "northbound":"left", "southbound":"left"},
        {"station":"Royal Oak", "northbound":"right", "southbound":"right"}
    ],
    "district", [
        {"station":"Hammersmith", "eastbound":"left", "westbound":"left"},
        {"station":"Baron's Court", "eastbound":"left", "westbound":"left"},
        {"station":"Earl's Court", "eastbound":"right", "westbound":"right"},
        {"station":"Gloucester Road", "eastbound":"right", "westbound":"right"}
    ]
]}

I’ll PM you with a few more ideas I have for the data :slight_smile:

@JamieHaywood

The main reason I left the platform numbers in the data-set, was that there are some “famous” issues with the London Underground and compass. For example, to travel between King’s Cross and Euston on the tube…

image

That journey on the Victoria Line is marked “southbound”, and on the Northern line it’s “northbound”. One can start at Platform 4 at King’s Cross underground, travel one stop “southbound” to Euston, change to platform 6 and one stop “southbound” is back at King’s Cross platform 8.

Similar things also happen with the various loops at Heathrow, the Central Line’s Essex loops and the Kenngton Loop. The Camden Town junction, where the two northern branches intertwine and then split to form the City and West End branches, is another issue for clear descriptiveness.

This aside, anything that can be added to the APIs to help London’s people and visitors is always a plus.

This is Clive Feather, who writes the Clive’s UndergrounD Line Guides web site; I’ve just discovered this forum and I’m glad you found a new use for the data on the site (I really need to finish off the diagrams but other things have got in the way). In particular, I’m interested to know which “errors in the original” you’re talking about so that I can fix them.

Sorry you had a problem with with direction is up - it does say on each page! After trying various conventions, my memory is that I ended up with making the choice that put the lowest number platform on the left for the most stations.

I was a little rude of me to not post here the changes that I made to your data, but as I did them in code, I can post them here for you now. They are the last seven in this bit of code. I think the others are there to convert, rather than correct, you.

As it’s your data, this is the database table that I created from scraping your site.

@davros

I’ve uploaded the code I wrote for this to a demo site, so if you want to browse your data…

http://demo.freeview.tv/home/show/Bakerloo

I also have adapted your data to make this on Wikipedia too

I finally got around to sorting out this code so it was somewhere visible. The linked site can show the TfL door-side data in several forms.

I did also make this work for Wikipedia, but this got people all upset! And I thought it a an utter triumph!

It seems that you can endlessly list steam engines without a refernce Royal Arsenal Railway - Wikipedia but adding platform infoamtion… bad!

Enjoy.

But is there anything to stop you using https://briantist.uk/home/show/Victoria as a reference?

@harry

You’re not really supposed to refer to yourself!

The problem isn’t the reference (I referred to the Clive's UndergrounD Line Guides ) but the strange (small c) conservatism and bullying that goes with it.
