I've been asked to produce a series of Excel spreadsheets with train
timetable information for a number of National Rail (London only)
routes. Besides using the Network Rail journey planner and manually
typing/pasting them in, is there any way of getting this information
into Excel? It's getting a bit complicated and time consuming!

Thanks,
David.

This is also something I've wondered. I don't suppose it's published in
XML, CSV (anything!) anywhere?

It'd be quite nice to have this sort of thing available for unconnected
PDAs, smartphones etc.

I wonder who "owns" the information, the TOCs, National Rail etc?

Try ATOC.

Discussions about how to hack a PDF to Excel then apply some god awful
VB to it aside though, the point I'm making is that this information
should be made available free of charge in a malleable format (e.g. XML,
or something), hence my question about ownership.

Well, when I say "should", perhaps what I mean is "can't see any reason
why not given that they provide glossy leaflets with the data on".

Ultimately taking this long way round is a maintainability nightmare and
is subject to change when the timetables are changed.
