Station Features
GeoJSON feature collection

This endpoint provides a single GeoJSON FeatureCollection containing every station on the UK Rail network. This feature collection can be used with libraries like Leaflet or OpenLayers to plot onto a map.

Please make certain you have read the Conditions of use before using this API.

To get the feature set simply make a call to http://api.area51.onl/rail/1/station/feature and you will get a large GeoJSON file back. Each feature represents a single station and has just two properties:

name

The station name

crs

The 3Alpha/CRS code
