Traveline National Dataset (TNDS)

What is it?

The Traveline National DataSet (TNDS) is compiled from data sourced from the English Traveline regions, Traveline Scotland, and Traveline Wales. TNDS contains public transport timetables for bus, light rail, tram and ferry services in Great Britain.

Each Traveline regional supply of data has been formatted in a slightly different way from the others. To ensure a consistent output, the process involves importing the Traveline regional data supplies into a database. The TNDS is then exported in both TXC v2.1 and TXC v2.5 using the same data elements and the same format for all files respectively.

TransXChange

TransXChange is an XML based data standard and provides a means to exchange bus routes and timetables, together with related operational data. You can find out more about the TransXchange standard on the Department for Transport page here (https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/transxchange).

How often is TNDS updated?

The TNDS is routinely updated every Monday – Thursday overnight. If required, ad-hoc builds may take place in addition to the routine updates. Details about the source of data for each region and further information about TNDS may be found here. (https://www.travelinedata.org.uk/traveline-open-data/data-reporting/)
