The Rail Data Marketplace is a platform operated by the Rail Delivery Group. Some existing open feeds are also offered through the marketplace, and some new feeds are only offered through the marketplace.
Background
The RDG states that the Rail Data Marketplace originates in the Joint Rail Data Action Plan, and Williams-Shapps Plan for Rail.[1]
The Joint Rail Data Action Plan is a policy paper published in 2018, which sought to increase rail data sharing across the industry, and which criticised the "perceived closed nature of the railway industry";[2] The Rail Delivery Group committed in the joint action plan to publishing the CTI and CIGP feeds through the NRDP, but failed to do so. The Williams-Shapps Plan for Rail outlined the strategy and objectives of an "open by default" Rail Data Service under the proposed Great British Railways.[3] In 2021, the Department for Transport announced £5 million in government funding for a new Rail Data Marketplace, with the Rail Delivery Group selecting Tata Consultancy Services to develop the platform.[4]
Feeds
