Sources & coverage

Evidence you can follow.

Every listing starts with a named source. We keep what it says, what it does not say and when it was checked visible.

What the pilot covers

34 facilities across 3 counties. This is not a national open feed or a complete UK register. Explore the listings; use GOV.UK’s council finder for other areas.

How to read the dates

A publication date belongs to the original source. A source check means we accessed that evidence. Operator verification is a separate confirmation and is not claimed where absent. An old council list can identify a possible facility, but it cannot prove service availability today.

Known gaps

Some source lists omit current hours, charges, axle-weighing methods, platform dimensions or vehicle restrictions. We do not infer these details from capacity, postcode or a facility name. Coordinates are omitted unless sourced.
