Rail Data Marketplace (RDM) is the central platform for finding and sharing rail data.
The Rail Data Marketplace will deliver a new way of sharing data between consumers – including app developers, tech firms, academia – and the rail industry. New data sharing opportunities will drive innovation, leading to the development of innovative passenger-facing applications, operational efficiencies and improved transparency."
The [Plan for Rail] describes the UK government’s plans to transform Britain’s railways, highlighting better access to quality rail data as an important commitment. The government announced funding for the Rail Data Marketplace project in June 2021.
Rail Delivery Group (RDG) provides and manages the RDM service, working in partnership with representatives from across the rail industry. The platform is now in its Beta phase and the RDM team are continuing to develop the platform to meet a high, professional standard.
