Needed station data for building http://housequest.co.uk (sorry, cheeky plug) and there wasn't one up to date source out there so I reckoned I'd share this. Used a bunch of sources such as wikipedia, http://www.doogal.co.uk/london_stations.php which needed some updating.

In the repo you'll also find the .csv file for stations and a GeoJson of the London Boroughs aligned to Google Maps based on https://www.google.com/fusiontables/DataSource?docid=1WlXk5R...

This is great. Could you add some kind of licence/readme stating that anyone can use the data for free?
Cheers, added a license.txt to the repo. Do I need to add it as a comment in the individual files? (never used licenses, slightly new to this :) )
No I think having one in the repo is fine.

Housequest looks very good, will use next year if it's still around!
