A little bash
script to show the current status of London transport, as reported by TFL.
Useful for those who live in London, UK, because the dynamic nature of London transport is probably worth
a dedicated Linux command.

Just copy the tfl
file to a directory from your $PATH
environment variable.
sudo apt install html-xml-utils
The script has been tested on Linux Mint 19.1, and it will probably work on other Ubuntu-based distributions as well. Since the script is based on some naïve web-scraping it may break at any time.
