Rail Delivery Group have been given a significant amount of money by the taxpayer (circa £5m, which it would appear Tata Consultancy Services have done quite well out of) to develop RDM as an open data platform in order to further plans to "simplify data access" and deliver on recommendations from the William-Shapps Plan for Rail to modernise contracts and to enable "open data sharing”.

From my recent discussions with NR, they are being actively pushed into releasing new data (and moving all existing data releases) solely into RDM. I’ve already had discussions with NR along the lines of increased friction, and the use of data is more constrained in RDM due to its platform agreements, which I have to say I’m finding a very disappointing step.
Particularly if these series of events are down to what appears to be a largely spurious reason relating to the that they’ve built into the platform.
FWIW, I am not registered to RDM due to various qualms with the platform both - contractual and technical. Particularly the fact that it’s run by RDG and they don’t *appear* to have any boundaries about entities within RDG / RSP that can see the details of commercial revenues given they’re party to the fees(!), etc. For open stuff, that’s fine – but for commercial stuff I’d be worried about that leaking outside of solely RDM and that information then being used for other reasons.
But maybe that’s just me 😊

My other query, is I am trying to use the STOMP client for network rail, and it seems that the module 'pyxb' has been discontinued, and as a result it won't generate the classes using pyxbgen. Did anyone have any luck using a different python module getting this to work?
