Creating Schedules

Schedules can be created as TransXChange XML documents using tools from a number of different suppliers, for example. These tools typically draw on other reference data such as NaPTAN stops and operator codes

Simple TransXChange schedules can also be created using the VOSA online  Electronic Bus Service Registration tool from Thales which produces TransXChange XML documents as its output.

TransXChange XML documents may also be edited directly using XML Editing tools.
