Details

The National Public Transport Access Nodes (NaPTAN) dataset lists all public transport access points in Great Britain, including bus, rail, tram, metro, underground, air and ferry services.

NaPTAN is a core component of the national transport information infrastructure and is used by a number of other UK standards and information systems.

You can download the data in either XML or CSV format.
