National Rail Have Killed My UK Train Times App - 0 views
-
About a year ago I wrote a simple web application to present UK train times in a simple format for mobile phone users.
-
When I wrote the app none of the official train timetable sites could do this and I don’t believe any can now.
-
To reiterate – I built this because it was convenient and would be useful to others. Not to make a profit. …and today National Rail killed it.

the page on London Datastore has now been locked. “Access Denied”. Possibly because a lot of discussion appeared on there which was critical of ATOC’s decision to extract money from users of the service

If you’re a user of the application and disagree with National Rail’s greed in trying to make money out of a data source which was hitherto free, I can only suggest you email nrelicensing@atoc.org and express your concerns.
