I'm not contesting that entities which receive government money shouldn't charge also if the economics implies it, rather focusing on the fact that they take a vast amount of taxpayer money which then helps fund greedy companies who deliver giant bags of fail and on top of it all charge for information which, let's face it, is something of a paltry cost to provide, really, certainly as a proportion of the funding they receive.
We might not all use the services, but we are all certainly entitled to investigate and examine how our money is being spent - standing in the way of providing data for what appear to be money-grabbing reasons certainly does not help redistribute the cost to rail users I don't think, and actively gets in the way of highlighting less effective rail operators.
