The Rail Data Marketplace (RDM) provides the tools and frameworks to simplify rail data sets and open them up to a wider user base through a single-access platform. The RDM facilitates better ways of sharing transparent data and real-time information to passengers; improve data sharing across operational bodies; and improve access to data for public and private bodies.

The RDM is comprised of licencing, development work, and support and maintenance of this service through the provision of software and services which allow the publication and consumption of data assets (predominantly in the form of APIs) and supporting artefacts, along with the ability to license and monetise those assets and create a vibrant community of users.
