tl;dr: Please tag your local station(s) with platforms=n where n2 I had a conversation with Andy Allan, ooh, ages ago (it was probably at WhereCampGB in Notts) about his lovely transport layer (http://osm.org/go/euup98?layers=T) and mentioned it would be great to see station names at lower

I've managed to complete a substantial portion of the merging of the England Cycling data for the areas that I've put my name down for (Ashford, Canterbury, and Swale), so I thought I'd provide some feedback on what I've seen. Once I'm merged with these I hope to do parts of some of the other
