I write code and visualize data
I do governance for British railway IT plus European regulation
I believe data makes rail passengers lives better
Ask me how!

But this varies as a small number of stations have closed. For example IBM just makes the 2018/19 cut off here. While a small number of stations have opened since.
There is a list of station name and CRS code here github.com/anisotropi4/... with pictures.

It is the right ball park but it depends.
I have 2 587 stations here github.com/anisotropi4/... but that is based on the number of stations that had passengers according to the ORR between 2018/19 and 2023/24.

My hot take is: don't blame the data, work out where the process is failing and do something about that.

However if I am in STP, the change of platform is really quite important, especially if announced at short notice and I want to get on.
For me the issue is then the decision making process, with insufficient time planned and poor communication to passengers and station staff 4/n

For example, if the platform the 09:37 from St Pancras to Sheffield changes from 3 to 4 and I'm in Sheffield, I probably don't care much. It might have some residual impact, such as I may find out that it is a five not seven car unit and so I should expect a grumpy son but that's about it 2/n

It was on grounds of safety. Which in my opinion doesn't stack up.
Data, outwith some narrow and technical edge cases, isn't (or shouldn't) have a safety impact in itself. Rather it is the context and the way in which the data is being used and understood that is important. 1/n

The issue is that there are those who say* that it would be better of the data wasn't in the API.
* Even on more than one occasion when I was in the room

Two things, RTT have been criticized for doing this and it isn't always correct. As there can be short notice changes. But I completely agree it's better than the alternative

Enjoy the path occupancy. It what I call trains but only because I work for an infrastructure manager...it's what makes the timetable special

It would appear we now have an open rail and road datasets available. Which is nice.
