TransXChange

TransXChange is a UK national XML based data standard for the interchange of bus route and timetable information between bus operators, the Vehicle and Operator Services Agency, local authorities and passenger transport executives, and others involved in the provision of passenger information.

Each version of TransXChange is versioned in line with UK GovTalk guidelines.
