Features:
- Visualises the route taken by a train on a map
- (Part) cancelled routes are shown in grey
- The last known position of a train is displayed as a marker (if available)
- Route length can be seen by clicking the 'info' button in the bottom right corner of the map
New in version 0.6.0:
- Updated to Manifest v3
- Added display of public calls (circles) and non-public calls (triangles)
- Bit of data cleansing for some obscure routing points

- Excellent supplement to RTT. I never knew how useful this would be until I tried it — with my rail enthusiast's hat on, it's great to get a feel for where freight trains have come from/are going to without having to remember obscure location names. And with my passenger's hat on, it's a great way of seeing at a glance if a service is booked to be diverted away from its usual route, rather than having to scan down the list of calling/passing points... A few remaining data issues that cause train routes to zip off to bizarre parts of the country and back still aren't enough to tarnish this excellent extension.
