I just opened the letters page of UK Wired Magazine and there's a letter from the chief executive of National Rail Enquiries (Chris Scoggins) pledging to open up their data.
I'm sure that Wired would be interested in your story, and it's worth trying to contact Mr Scoggins directly.
(I'm not a regular Wired reader, but it seems this is in response to a letter published in the 09.10 edition)
- mocko 16y agoHi omh. That looks like an awesome point of contact. I can't find a letters page on their website, is his letter online anywhere?
- omh 16y agoI don't think it's online, and unfortunately i've now lost my copy of the magazine. It looks like part of an ongoing discussion though, so contacting Wired to get the whole storyis probably best. Good luck!
- mocko 16y agoI went out and bought a copy this morning :) Fascinating letter, the chief executive's commitment to opening data feeds is completely at odds with what they're doing here. I've left a comment on his blog post at https://nationalrailenquiries.wordpress.com/2010/10/22/146/ https://nationalrailenquiries.wordpress.com/2010/10/22/146/ so let's see if it elicits a response.
- omh 16y agoNow that I'm back at a computer, I found the 'From the Editor' letter that he was responding to: http://www.wired.co.uk/wired-magazine/archive/2010/09/start/from-the-editor?page=all http://www.wired.co.uk/wired-magazine/archive/2010/09/start/...
