Google Maps UK Traffic Data Overlay (greasemonkey script)
I originally built a Google Maps page using Road + Rail (from bbc) + Weather (from weather.com) data. This is located @ http://bbc.blueghost.co.uk/ (you can use this page in Internet Explorer as well as Firefox).
I then started developing Greasemonkey scripts for Mozilla Firefox. An extension of my original project was to have an optional overlay of traffic data on the actual Google Maps page, and this is the result so far.
I thought it might be useful if used in conjunction with Google Maps journey planning features.
Further plans include adding all UK locations available ( i am manually adding them at the moment); adding rail delays as an optional overlay; and also fixing a few bugs.

I'm a big fan of Greasemonkey, but it's been recently receiving a lot of attention because of a security vulnerability which could allow a web site to read ANY file on your computer. More information to be found here:
