Good luck getting access to it though (especially the National Rail one), I tried and failed.

The TFL tube and bus data is effectively open now. I think I actually applied, but the URLs don't need any authentication and http://www.tfl.gov.uk/businessandpartners/syndication/16493.... gives you everything you need to query it.

I know that National Rail is a lot more awkward though.

I came across the same hindrances when trying to build something similar to this. Public transportation data is surprisingly private.
