DB InfraGO's OpenStation: NeTEx + SIRI for railway stations

In late 2025, DB InfraGO - Germany's state owned operator of railway infrastructure - released its “OpenStation“ API, the new single source of truth for train station data. The API (or as some users have put it: "glorified collection of XML files") is based on the european NeTEx and SIRI standards, and its contents are released as CC0 (public domain), a first for Deutsche Bahn.

In this talk, we want to share our experiences with NeTEx and SIRI from a data producer's perspective, highlight some benefits and challenges of our new API, explain its intended role within the transport data ecosystem, and discuss our future plans for OpenStation. Last but not least, we would like to hear your thoughts and feedback on our new API.
