A gathering place for the Open Rail Data community

Contact owners and managers

1–30 of 2841

The openraildata-talk forum is a meeting place for anyone who is working with, or interested in working with, data about the railway in Great Britain.

The group offers unofficial, community-based support and troubleshooting assistance for using the real-time feeds from Network Rail (http://publicdatafeeds.networkrail.co.uk/) and National Rail Enquiries (http://opendata.nationalrail.co.uk/). The Open Rail Data Wiki (https://wiki.openraildata.com/) and the NR Open Data Status Page may also be useful to you.

There are a number of experienced members of the group who are happy to help and point you in the right direction.

If you haven't joined the group, the first message you send may be moderated. This requires manual intervention but usually only takes a few minutes or hours.
