Could this be because of the change of government? The new government is dismantling all sorts of other central government internet projects - perhaps the data providers who were being pressured into making their feeds available are spotting a change in the political climate and a chance to keep the profits in-house.

I followed up the story of TFL and it turns out that the API stopped working because of a security patch that was applied, rather than more sinister reasons.
