Tube Typer
Type the London Underground
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Every line, every station, announcements included. Type your way across London's whole network and find out how fast your fingers really are.
Mind the doors — it's time to type.
Tube Typer turns London's transport network into a typing game. Pick a line, then type each station's name before your train is due to depart. Keep up and you'll glide from terminus to terminus; fall behind and the train is held at the platform until you catch up. There's no game over — just you, the route and the clock.
EVERY LINE, EVERY STATION
• 19 real routes: all 11 Underground lines, the six named Overground lines, the DLR and the Elizabeth line
• 325 stations with their real names, in the right order, in official line colours
• Start on the two-stop Waterloo & City and work your way up to the 43-station District line — each new line runs a little faster than the last
SOUNDS LIKE THE TUBE
• On-board announcements in a British voice: "The next station is…"
• Arrival chimes, door sounds and key clicks — your own music keeps playing underneath
• Subtle haptics for every keystroke, slip and arrival
WATCH LONDON LIGHT UP
• A full network map in two styles — classic schematic diagram or real geography — where the lines you've completed appear in colour and locked ones wait in grey
• A live route strip in-game, with your train sliding from station to station as you type
MADE FOR TYPISTS
• Forgiving input: capitals optional, and apostrophes and ampersands can be typed or skipped — "kings cross" works
• Effective words per minute, wait counts and per-station splits after every run
• Chase your personal best on every line, with Game Center leaderboards and 17 achievements to earn (some hidden)
• Full hardware-keyboard support on iPhone and iPad
Tube Typer is free, with no adverts, no in-app purchases and no account. Your progress is stored on your device, and everything works offline.
Whether you're a Londoner who knows the Northern line by heart or a typist after something better than random words, this is your route to faster fingers. All change, please.
