So,... there's an amazing plugin for QGIS from Japan (sponsored by Toyota it seems) which takes GTFS public transport timetables and creates frequency maps with no work and I loaded up the GTFS format GB railway timetable (which I obviously have hanging around) and wow.

Great to see this piece out! Expanding @beisgovuk Smart Data schemes is one of the provisions of the UK's draft new Data Bill, so that customers can "move" their data between service providers for better deals & better access to support. But how it's rolled out will be crucial 👇🏿

@brumlableader @BrumLabour @Cllr_IanWard Are you aware that Brum Council is trying to keep every single contract with a third party supplier secret and dodge FOIA requests, despite your transparency obligations. What is there to hide? Thi policy is clearly unlawful. #FOIA
