We have published data to help researchers and local planners understand how public transport access varies across the UK, using open data and open-source software.

A map of Great Britain showing the number of scheduled services as a proportion of the number of timetabled services at each station at each station on 13 August 2022. They are represented by coloured circles overlaid on the map.

Rail services can be affected by temporary factors such as unseasonably hot weather, industrial action and engineering works. We produced maps from open data showing service levels at every station in Great Britain over a 21-day period.
