Dream of building the greatest app ever, come up with a decent enough idea, research the available technology to build it and the data needed. Even gather said data and work on converting it to a suitable format. Then realise that it is 5am and you need to get up for work in the morning.
Anyways, in hopes that I help someone else out there kickstart their project. Here is a handy way to download the entire TFL london bus network, every route, GPS coordinates of every stop right to your doorstep.
