The transport data looks like it might have some use for OSM and related
projects


   - Data on *current and future roadworks* on the Strategic Road Network to
   be published from October 2011, and subject to consultation to extend this
   during 2012 to Local Authority Streetworks Registers maintained under
   statute.
   - All remaining Government-owned free datsets from Transport Direct,
   including *cycle route data *and the *national car park database* to be
   made available for free re-use from October 2011.
   - *Real time data on the Strategic Road Network* including incidents,
   speeds and congestion to be published from December 2011.
   - Office of Rail Regulator to increase the amount of data published
   relating to service performance and complaints by May 2012.
   - *Rail timetable* information to be published weekly by National Rail
   from December 2011.
