Needed station data for building http://housequest.co.uk (sorry, cheeky plug) and there wasn't one up to date source out there so I reckoned I'd share this. Used a bunch of sources such as wikipedia, http://www.doogal.co.uk/london_stations.php which needed some updating.

In the repo you'll also find the .csv file for stations and a GeoJson of the London Boroughs aligned to Google Maps based on https://www.google.com/fusiontables/DataSource?docid=1WlXk5R...

This is great. Could you add some kind of licence/readme stating that anyone can use the data for free?

The term "TfL station" is unclear. Technically speaking, London Overground stations are operated by LOROL as part of the National Rail network. LOROL is not owned by TfL but merely operates under a TfL franchise. As such it would be nice to see this enhanced with other rail stations and operators within London.

That being said, this looks useful, thanks!

Updated the title, cheers for mentioning it.
