Display the inverse connection as well

It would be nice, if one could display the inverse connection at the same time.

Use case is:
I want to go to Berlin from Frankfurt sometime in the next month for three days.

Show me at one gasp, what times have good conditions.

A simple solution is to simply show it as a second graphic, or to insert it into the current one.

I implemented something like this using a bar chart:

Each bar represents the cost of a three-day roundtrip, e. g. leaving on 12/4 and returning on 15/4 would cost 98€ in total.
You can also see it in action (should be online for at least a month). The code is over at johanngoltz/bahn.guru.

I'd love to hear your suggestions and feedback.

This is cool. Maybe make the trip length a parameter for the search?

There is also this from me:

Shows prices for 3h intervals each day, so its easy to see if there are cheap prices in the morning etc.

And in the discussion to the commit also some other guy who did something

Maybe its time to merge all the stuff together soon.

Yep, that's on my to-do list. Other things that still need to be done:

  • Make this view reachable from the start page, not just by modifying the URL
  • Navigation to the day view, just like what happens when you click a day in the original calendar.
  • Separate parameters (duration, departure/arrival time, ...) for the in- and the outbound journey would be nice.
  • Lastly, I'm sure the CSS I wrote could use some improvement

Hey, I'm sorry for not answering earlier, the screenshot looks really great, however the link to the demo doesn't seem to work anymore :S

Whoops. It's up again.
