Wow, yet more information ...
Well we have now been live for around 3 days and we continue to be bowled over by how many good ideas there are out there (and also how many good sites there are that we didn't know about!). However, we have also discovered we didn't have all the data available for you to turn your ideas from concept to reality.
Well if you were one of the people who was wondering "so where are all the bus stops in the country?" or "Do we know where we can park our cars?" - Good news! If you go to our information page. Transport Direct have just opened up their database to the competition. It contains:
- Location of bus stops, stations etc and descriptions of the locations
- The National Car Park Register
- Journey planning information
- A carbon calculator
- The National Public Transport Data Repository feed
The good folk at free our data have also turned the Edubase data into SQL format. Finally someone has done a great job of making the Neighbourhood Statistics API more accessible. Have a look here.
As inspiration for those of you who have made it through this far have a look at the amazing ideas on the (unofficial) Google maps mashup blog.
