Through an API platform hosted by Network Rail, various programmatic interfaces to systems and data are available for consumption. There is currently (June, 2023) only one API, and new registrations are suspended.

API Endpoint Usage
BPLAN (Reference Data) API https://data.networkrail.co.uk/api/pifgeography/v1/train/referenceDataFile BPLAN Geography File

Suspension of registration

Network Rail have suspended new registrations, directing data users to access BPLAN via the method described in Reference Data instead.

Requesting access

To request access, users would have emailed opendata@networkrail.co.uk. If granted access, they were given a client ID and client secret. These were passed in the HTTP message header in the fields 'client_id' and 'client_secret'.
