[Open-transport] Community coordinated list of all railway stations around the world

Sun Dec 30 12:40:55 UTC 2012

Hi all,

Wow, I don't regret sending this mail at all ;)

Could you send me/link me these files? I'd very much like to use these
as a starting point.

Concerning the UCI codes, are these freely usable? I remember this
cannot be taken for granted (for instance, the zip codes in the UK were
a hassle).

Kind regards,

Pieter
