Transport for London redesign
One of my ongoing frustrations over the last few years is how difficult the Transport for London website is. Trying to comprehend the complex structure just to find out whether the Hammersmith and City Line is working at the weekend was always a chore - even though I had fought my way through it many many times before. So finally, in the last few days, Transport for London has updated their site with a brand new structure and visual design. I’m not too excited about the ’Web 2.0’-style visuals, but it is very easy to understand, and I can now find out if the tube is going to be useful at the weekend in moments.

Do you know who is responsible for the new design?

No, we don’t. We have investigated, but to no avail. Of course, it’s something we’d have been very pleased with ourselves… simple, clean, easy.

We’ve now found out how the TfL site came to be redesigned. The work was done in-house at TfL, with some final user testing conducted by Flow Interactive (who shared this with us - thanks!).

Surprising! Thanks
