Elizabeth line status widget for your Mac
Check whether London's Elizabeth line is running well before you leave, right from your Mac menu bar. Wishbar turns plain English into widgets like this in minutes, using your own AI.
Have Wishbar on this Mac? This opens it with this widget ready to make. Wishbar asks first, then your AI makes it in a few minutes.
“A widget like this can be made for you from one sentence, to your taste. Nobody else will have it.”
No card needed. You bring the AI: a free ChatGPT account is enough.
“Wishbar turned a one-sentence request into a working Mac widget in minutes … I've stopped hunting for menu-bar apps; I just wish for them now.”
What it does
- Shows every status TfL reports for the line, in order, each with its severity and the plain-English reason.
- Refreshes while the panel is open; the time of the last update is on the right.
- If TfL cannot be reached, the last status stays on screen, marked stale.
Where the data comes from, and what it needs
Transport for London's open data. No account, no key. It runs on your Mac and talks to its source only. Once made, it runs without your AI: it uses no Claude or ChatGPT tokens.
When it is useful
- Before you leave for the station.
- While you wait, to know why.
