naptan: a python package
Get, view, and map NaPTAN data.
The package's functions return the data from the NaPTAN API as a pandas.DataFrame. This allows the data to be easily filtered, queried and manipulated. Once you have the data, you can export the data as a geoJSON, or view it via an interactive map.

NaPTAN dataset
National public transport access nodes (NaPTAN) is a national dataset of all
public transport 'stops' in England, Scotland and Wales. Bus stops form the vast
majority of the dataset; but there is data on tram, metro, tube, rail, ferry and
air services too.
Included in the dataset, along with the unique identifiers, is common name,
locality, stop type, bearing of onward travel, and status (active, inactive or pending).
