The Data

The file stations.csv contains all our data representing train stations. The file is UTF-8 encoded text file and Comma Separated Value (CSV) formatted – although a semi-colon ; is used to delimitate fields.

Columns

Column Name Notes
id Internal unique identifier.
name Name of the station as it is locally known; see info_* for translations.
slug Guaranteed to be unique across all the suggestable stations; see is_suggestable.
uic The UIC code of the station.
uic8_sncf SNCF sometimes uses an UIC code with 8 digits instead of 7. The last digit is a checksum.
longitude Coordinates as decimal value.
latitude Coordinates as decimal value.
parent_station_id A station can belong to a meta station whose id is this value, i.e. Paris Gare d’Austerlitz belongs to the metastation Paris.
is_city This value is unreliable.

is_main_station This value is unreliable.
time_zone Continent/Country ISO codes.
is_suggestable Can the user input this station.

same_as Some systems allow stations to be split in two, with two id values. If provided, the station identified by the given value should be considered as the actual station.
