Use stringliner to plot a recreation of E.J. Marey's graphical train schedule (aka a stringline chart). See a D3 version here.
Currently this function only plots data saved in the extdata directory. Plot the Monday to Friday route between Edinburgh and Glasgow like this (correct until 9th December 2017):
library(tidyverse)
library(lubridate)
library(stringliner)
string_line()
Install stringliner from GitHub like this:
# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("jsphdms/stringliner")
