gb_public_transport — Great Britain public transport networks (2011)

Description

Public transport networks of Great Britain in 2011, constructed by de Regt, von Ferber, Holovatch and Lebovka from the timetables of the National Public Transport Data Repository (NPTDR) of the UK Department for Transport, which contains a snapshot of all public transport services for a sample week (usually in early October) of each year. The networks are in the so-called L-space representation: nodes are stations (stops), and an undirected edge connects two stations if they are visited consecutively by a vehicle on some route. Only outgoing routes were considered, and multiple edges were reduced to single ones.

bristol, london, manchester, west_midlands: the bus networks of Bristol, Greater London, Greater Manchester and the West Midlands.
coach: the national coach network.
rail: the national rail network.

The networks have the following properties:

Nodes: station_id, the unique station identifier of the NPTDR (the NaPTAN ATCO code); pos, the position of the station as Easting and Northing (British National Grid), in meters. The positions are missing (empty) for 31 stations of london and one of bristol. The west_midlands network contains 12 self-loops, as in the source data.
