OpRa is a CEN initiative with main focus on the identification of Public Transport raw data to be exchanged, gathered and stored in order to support Study and Control of Public Transport Service.

The project initially produced a CEN Technical Report.

Recently work has taken place to develop a new Technical Specification (TS) and update the existing Transmodel Part 8 document.

These documents are now at the stage of initial comment on the principles which have been created and documented, prior to completion of the work.

The Bus services around the Christmas and New Year period will often operate differently to normal weeks. 

The data for use in services such as the Department for Transport Bus Open Data Service , Traveline, journey planners, real time systems and mobile phone apps all need to be updated to reflect the changed operation. 

This advice deals with how to prepare data for the BODS and other systems to ensure that it is correct for the Christmas and New Year 2025-26 holiday period.
