[FEEDBACK] Update TfL Widget - Elizabeth line

[ramzh]

Hey Lissy!

Love your work and truly amazing with the widget. As a Londoneer myself , I set up the TfL widfget however I noticed that the Elizabeth line does not follow the same schema name as the others in the widget and widget options

  - name: 🚇 Transport for London
    widgets:
      - type: tfl-status
        options:
          showAll: true
          sortAlphabetically: true
          linesToShow:
          - Jubilee
          - Central
          - Elizabeth line

Would it be possible to update the widget and widget option to accept "Elizabeth" as option name? :)

Thanks again for the awesome tool!

Hey @ramzh, I am SO sorry for the late reply here.

I agree it's inconsistent, but it is actually correct.

This is because according to TfL it isn't technically a Tube line, since most of the route uses the National Rail network and infrastructure, and because the British Rail Class 345 trains which service the line are much larger than Tube trains.

Even the official TfL Status page calls it "Elizabeth Line" when all others are just called Central, District, Piccadilly, etc

Dashy is calling the API like this: https://api.tfl.gov.uk/line/mode/dlr,elizabeth-line,overground,tram,tube/status and then filtering based on the results passed by the user. So unless I hard-code something to allow for either "elizabeth" or "elizabeth line", then I'm afraid this isn't possible.
