                }
},

Notes

IMPORTANT In this first version, while shown as required, the app_id and the api_key are unused until I get a response from TfL on how to apply the data limits correctly. As a result this uses an anonymous request and it is possible this may break after a period of requests. Again I am awaiting to hear what the request and data limits are so that this can be used correctly. I hope you like this module, this was built at the request of djbenny07on the MagicMirror2 forum. Feel free to submit pull requests or post issues and I'll do my best to respond.

Thanks To...
