Welcome to the Open Rail Data wiki, with information on Open Data available from the rail industry.

If you are looking for information on the Network Rail Open Data platform, which allows access to real-time train movement information, documentation is available for these feeds. There is also some reference data which may be useful.

If you're looking for help, advice or just want to talk about rail data, join the Open Rail Data group on Google Groups. If you're looking to get involved, check out the projects page.

A catalogue of Open Data releases within in the industry has also been written.
