UK Railway stations longitude/latitude…

Has anyone done this before?

I’ve made a longitude/latitude function in the past with PHP and MySQL, but unfortunately can’t find the data for UK Railway stations, other than on this site:
[url]http://www.co2balance.uk.com/co2calculators/rail-travel[/url].

This script basically does what I need, calculates the miles between railway stations. But I need to get the longitude/latitude values to start with.

Can anyone suggest where I find this data?

I emailed the company but the reply didn’t help.

Thanks for any tips

@toicontienFeb 14.2009 — You might try the geocoding service for Google Maps.

I'm actually writing a maps API that allows PHP to bridge Google, Yahoo and MapQuest mapping services. It will not only provide methods for geocoding (looking up lat/lng values for an address), but also provide an API for creating AJAX-enabled maps embedded on web pages.

In the mean time, you might like the PHP Google Maps API.

Success!
