Hi Dave, Take a look at Overpass API [1]. There is a XAPI compatibility layer that makes it easy to get an OSM extract using a simple web http request [2] (I've had a go at improving the documentation [3] which may help you) but this compatibility layer only returns data in the OSM XML format. You can extract data in other formats, as described in the Overpass API language guide. I like to use the Overpass Turbo site and it's "Wizard" button to make it easier to construct these queries. For example see my blog post about a relation for a bus route in Coventry [5]. The Overpass turbo page for this is permalinked at [6] and you can get the data as a GeoJSON file via [7].
