Nuts and bolts: our routing algorithm

Can someone from Captain Train explain where they have gotten the European Rail Timetable Data from? Because there is a huge issue in Europe over that data not being Open Data. The rail governing body the UIC collects each member train company's timetables and merges/cleans them into a dataset called Merits. If you ask the UIC as many Open Data campaigners and interested companies for that dataset they say "Only the Operators can have it". That dataset then goes to the company that supplies most of the European train companies journey planning Hacon (via a dept of Deutsche Bahn first). Hacon also won't license you the data. They too say 'it's the train operators'. And Deutsche Bahn will only license you the Hacon API (i.e not the raw data). Train Captain where are you getting this data from? Because you must be the only independent non-train operator in Europe to have it. And according to the rules I've encountered you shouldn't.
