Title

National Public Transport Access Nodes (NaPTAN) - February 2026

Abstract

The national public transport access nodes (NaPTAN) is a national dataset of all public transport ‘stops’ in England, Scotland and Wales. This dataset is an extract of the active nodes in Wales. This includes: bus stops and railway stations tram, metro and underground stops airports and ferry terminals. The NaPTAN dataset is updated when information is provided by staff based throughout local authorities around the UK. NaPTAN data is used by bus operators, data managers and other local authority staff. The data is used to manage public transport-related software or services. NaPTAN data can also be used for local and national transport apps and services. It’s available to the public to download for free. Members of the public may download data, but not upload data. You should have some familiarity with CSV or XML files to upload, download or edit stop data. NaPTAN data is available to download from: https://beta-naptan.dft.gov.uk/
