Robert O'Brien

Senior Software Engineer

I joined Nexus Alpha in 1998, developing the database and templates for the first generation of Tyrell systems. Since then I have worked on every incarnation of Tyrell, as well as a few other projects! Since 2003 I have been using C# .NET as well as maintaining and adding new features to some of the older code. In early 2006 I started working on ideas for new templates in the latest version of Tyrell. The most recent project has been the creation of a User Interface and SQL Server database for entering and holding geographical data about the rail network.

Outside work I spend a lot of time coaching and playing cricket for The Mote. I also enjoy a round of golf most weeks and play tennis when I get the chance. Other interests include listening to music and playing the piano.

 
 

Checking a Journey on WAP

wap-input

On WAP you enter the station names by entering as much or as little as you want. If there are a number of matches for an entered station you be will presented with a list of possible matches.

wap-input select

Once your from and to station are selected you will be presented a list of filtered updates.

wap-route

Saved Routes

A lot of WAP phones don’t support persistent cookies so saved routes have to be saved as bookmarks. The bookmark title is constructed so you easily see from a list of bookmarks what route the bookmark refers to.
