Heathrow Central tube station long ago had a primitive journey planner. Basically a huge (approx 6ft x 4ft) tube map mounted on a slanted table with little bulbs in place of the station ticks or interchange circles.
You had a set of push buttons, one for each tube station, and pressing one of these would cause a sequence of the lights to show you the best route to that station. Great fun for boys who liked playing with such things, and probably quite helpful for passengers as well!
Unfortunately I think this disappeared sometime around 1990.
