Open Rail Data Wiki
You've come to the right place if you're looking for information on Open Data available from Great Britain's rail industry.
If you're looking for help, advice or just want to talk about rail data, join the Open Rail Data group on Google Groups.
Data already open
Network Rail
- Real-time running data. This platform provides real-time train movement information from Network Rail's internal systems. You will need a reasonable level of technical skill to interpret the data. There is community-written documentation about the feeds available, as well as reference data.
- Sectional Appendicies, containing detailed information of lines, routes, junctions and permitted speeds.
- Working Timetables - schedules for passenger, empty passenger, freight and infrastructure trains.

OpenStreetMap.org
OSM contains most (need confirmation of this) of the UK rail network. Stations appear to be flagged with naptan:AtcoCode and/or CSR Ref and have train routes associated with them. The Osmosis application could be used to pull nodes from an OSM planet dump.
