Irish Rail Live Screensaver
The Irish Rail Live screensaver shows every Irish Rail train currently in motion, gathered key-less by the pipeline: the service, where it just left and how many minutes late it is running. It's free, runs in your browser, and ESC exits.
How the Irish Rail Live screensaver works
The background pipeline reads this from Irish Rail and saves a snapshot the saver loads.
Every Irish Rail train currently in motion, gathered key-less by the pipeline: the service, where it just left and how many minutes late it is running..
It refreshes on a schedule, so what you see stays current.
Colours can be changed in settings; nothing is stored beyond your own browser.
