New web application for all London Commuters

I like the visual design (although I have some reservations about the time selection controls). Not so sure if the service is useful. I guess it all depends on when the notifications are sent out.

There are some different use cases here depending on who gets notified. If I enter some external interested party, the most important thing is telling them that I am delayed and what time I will probably be there.

On the other hand, if I enter my own email address or phone number, I want to hear alternatives. Perhaps there is a delay on one line, but not the other. Perhaps there is alternative transportation available (bus, taxi, bicycle rental etc.). Missed opportunities!

Emailing you details that are different from an external contact is an interesting idea. I'm hoping to extend the interface to allow you to choose your actual stations, so alternate routes are easier to calculate.

Thank you for your time and interest!
