>>From what I understand you guys would like very much to lay your hands on as much data you can, I definately think FOI is the way to go. Swamp them buggers with FOI requests until they relent !!

I'm not sure FOI is the way to do this, but all power to you.  Hell, if
it works then we should be able to get a whole bunch of stuff!

Then again, aren't political boundaries kinda essential to a democracy? 
If you can't work out who represents whom, that blocks a whole bunch of
useful stuff.

I'm formulating some kind of campaign to get Ken to release all of
TfL's data for us.  If you've tried using their Journey Planner site
in recent weeks (503 Service Unavailable), you'll see why I think
others could do it better!
