Open railway data @OpenTech 2013, Sat 18 May, London

[Poggs]

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 the time - got access to real-time feeds from TRUST, got people talking, got the DfT to tell Network Rail to open up the data for everyone, and how I've ended up working at NR to get further data opened up.
