Yesterday, it was announced that the rail industry have released passenger train consists (via WebGEMINI) as Open Data on the Rail Data Marketplace. Expect sites other than RTT to have unit allocations and much more detail very soon :)

What is the cheapest walk-up ticket(s) which will let me travel London Terminals - Hastings - Brighton - London Terminals off-peak on a weekday? I want to visit both Hastings and Brighton, in that order. My routeing guide fu is weak! :(

Thanks to Rockshore, OpenTrainTimes is now back :)

For those who are interested, I'm giving a presentation at OpenTech in a week and a half. Details are at http://www.opentech.org.uk/2013/schedule/ and slides will be on http://blog.poggs.com/ afterwards. In it, I'll be telling the story of how I - somebody who didn't work in the industry at...

I am somewhat pleased to announce signal aspects and route-set indications (and TRTS and track circuit status) for some of the maps on OpenTrainTimes are now live. Check 'em out at http://www.opentraintimes.com/maps

Many of you are enthusiasts with a particular focus on freight trains. Some of you will know about Network Rail's transparency agenda and that freight data isn't included. I've written a blog post which is probably my final word on freight data and why I don't anticipate it being 'open' any...

I think some of you may be interested in the P2-esque real-time map I'm developing for http://www.opentraintimes.com/ It's all in a blog post...

Lots of people have already contacted me to ask where the non-passenger services have gone from OpenTrainTimes. There are many rumours, the vast majority of which simply aren't true. There is a debate at the moment over ownership of the schedules - some of it has happened in public, and some...

Serious question. Given that Network Rail are likely releasing real-time train data in the next couple of months, what *other* datasets would you love to see released and why? I'll start off: * Train formations from Gemini

http://www.opentraintimes.com/ launched at 7am today. Real-time data and maps will be coming in the next couple of weeks :)

Does anyone have a reasonably up-to-date copy of any signalling plans for Wembley Mainline SCC or Watford Junction PSB? I'm looking in particular for signal numbers and track layouts.

A Train Identity (e.g. 722J33M801) is composed of the first two digits of the originating location's STANOX code, then the 'headcode', then a number or digit... but what's the next character? I've been told it refers to the time at the originating location: * 0-6 are complete hours from...

I'm not sure how many of you are interested, but I am working with several other people to try and open up access to rail data. I gave a presentation at OpenTech 2011 a couple of weeks ago, http://blog.poggs.com/2011/05/open-rail-data/ has the presentations from Jonathan Raper of Placr, and...
