Rail Replacement Location Schemas

These schemas define the structure of Rail Replacement Location (RRL) data and can be used to validate RRL datasets in XML and JSON formats.

The RRL schemas support the RRL pilot service and are maintained separately from the NaPTAN schemas.


Schema versions

Previous versions of the RRL schema will be supported for a minimum of 2 years after a new version is released.

In exceptional circumstances, such as when a schema is broken, it may need to be withdrawn sooner.
