Public Rides Data

Part of the network This covers the West Midlands' buses and the West Midlands Metro tram, published together through Britain's Bus Open Data Service. West Midlands Railway and Avanti West Coast trains, including the Birmingham guide's airport route from Birmingham International into New Street, aren't included: Britain's national rail timetable is distributed as a licensed CIF feed rather than GTFS, with no anonymous bulk download to draw from.
