Historical CIF archive

[Nikhil Datta]

Hi all

I'm relatively new to this and am looking for a historical schedule CIF archive, essentially going as far back as possible. Does one exist anywhere online? 

From all the feeds I have seen, it looks like everything is either very current, or alternatively there is the HSP api, which doesn't look well set up for what I am trying to get.

Many thanks for your help

Hi all

Sorry for the repetition - I thought I would just bump this up in case anyone missed it / revise my request in case it's more doable.

If anyone has any snapshot from 2019 that would also be incredibly useful.

Many thanks

Nikhil

Hi Nikhil, 

Is there a specific date or period from 2019 you're after? I have a number of NR CIF files from 2019, and would be happy to upload a couple to a shared Google drive, if I've got one that would be of any use to you. 

Cheers, 

Danny.

Hi Danny

Thanks so much for your offer. Any file(s) that would be relatively representative over the year would be great thanks (e.g. one winter/ one summer). If you happen to have any for adjacent years (2015 - 2024) as well that would be an enormous help.  For transparency, we're using them to construct multimodal travel time matrices, which will be used for some economic modelling for the welfare impacts of infrastructure investment, for an academic project.

Thanks again

Nikhil

Hi Michael

I FOI'd network rail and got a pretty extensive historical archive:

If you want them let me know and I can ping you a dropbox link (the zip file is 10.8gb)

FYI - these are now up on the Rail Data Marketplace at https://raildata.org.uk/dashboard/dataProduct/P-ebd4375e-e7d4-445a-90fa-9e6caa12b41d/overview.
