Managed removal of stops

Published: 08/02/2024

We can remove stops from NaPTAN by using a controlled process.

Please contact us if you would like to remove stops from the NaPTAN data set by emailing naptan.nptg@dft.gov.uk.

We will take you through the on-boarding process to ensure that your system and permissions will allow the removal of stops from your local copy or removes stops from your NaPTAN files - you cannot publish any NaPTAN files that contain "removed" stops.

What is managed removal

Managed removal is a service for permanently removing stops from the published NaPTAN data set in a controlled manner.

It is designed for a situation where the stop no longer exists. These are stops where the physical infrastructure in the Local Authority has changed, which means they will never be reinstated as a stop.

For example, the area that the stop once stood at is now a shopping mall. These stops are not just no longer active, they cannot ever be recreated.
