Registering for OpenLDBSV/Darwin Staff Webservice
OpenLDBSVWS has a web registration process, this is currently (May 2023) broken, and cannot send registration verification emails. In the meantime, until the automatic registration process is fixed, RDG have established a procedure for manually creating accounts for the service. To request an account, send a completed licence request form to nationalraildatafeeds@raildeliverygroup.com, RDG staff will send you a license to sign, and then can provide you with account credentials.
Note that the licence request form is generic, and is oriented more towards commercial data feeds users, but the eligibility criteria and license conditions for OpenLDBSV for open data feeds users remain the same as before.
