the service design thinking I've been doing more recently.

A click anywhere resets the graph. A click captured by a node (the

This site has been set up in England (and maybe the rest of the UK).
It brings together train, bus, car and walking. This is a area which
is exceptionally important as integration is important if public

this sort of thing for years and they are a great place to start, but

The best discussion I've seen of paper forms in is the Style Manual

If users will be scanning the date column, a format (all but your 1st

Farecast helps track these kinds of fluctuations. They can usually
predict whether a fare is set to rise or fall in the near term. Might
be worth checking before booking a flight.
