I remember a while ago I wanted to get the location of things like bus-stops. (after the whole "showusabetterway" waste-of-time site the UK gov created. )
Found the information on a site some and found that I could ONLY use it if I was under contract from a UK local council.
Most of the info sources listed on that site were bound up in huge amounts of red tape / brick walls
Frankly I am not surprised that the trains are in the same situation.
- robinhouston 14y agoSome things do get better, at least. The database that includes the locations of bus stops (NaPTAN) is now open data: http://data.gov.uk/dataset/naptan http://data.gov.uk/dataset/naptan
- rurounijones 14y agoAhhh, NaPTAN, that was what it was called. Thank you, I gave up a long time ago with the project that was going to use this data. Glad that things are getting better at least.
