National Rail Enquiries - is the data they provide public?

« on: January 09, 2011, 10:07:21 »

Interesting blog concerning access to National Rail data feed ...

In the interest of balance, does anyone have a link where the National Rail side of the story has been published?

I think NRE^▸ have decided to screw as much money out of the data as possible while they still can.

I remember the old NR^» site, it was advert free, actually loaded properly, was fast and didnt have stupid flash adverts covering the important bits.

Now is the data public?

I do not work for FGW^▸ and posts should not be assumed and do not imply they are statements, unless explicitly stated that they are, from any TOC^▸ including First Great Western.

Is not the timetable data copyright Network Rail? I say that since you should seek their consent to use it in any publication (I believe there is a note somewhere in the printed t/t book from TSO^▸ )
