Just to remind folk, the West Mids volunteered as a pilot area for the original NapTAN import. We asked that the nodes were NOT tagged as highway=bus-stop as we wanted to survey them before they got rendered. We still haven't got round them all! And given the accuracy we're glad we asked for the

I downloaded latest naptan data the other day and used qgis to filter stops.csv to just those in Tendring, or on roads that run along the border, to give me something more manageable to look at. 995 stops before any other filtering. I've not finished verifying imported stops after an initial burst

In Belgium Jo Simoens has done similar things for the public transport import of De Lijn (Flanders) and Tec (Wallonia). He has python scripts to compare OSM data via an external reference of De Lijn to updates in a Postgis DB. He also has scripts to compute the most likely route between bus

Hi, I would not wish to see a mass import in my area, but I could see some merit in comparing data 'line by line'. I can remember that in the early days (2009?) there were bus stops on the data at the time that NaPTAN was imported. Some were sensibly merged, but some were deleted before the

Probably not a convenient area for you, but I added bus stops in the Glasgow area from NAPTAN data a few years back, manually merging in with existing data and surveying those where it wasn't clear (and flagging a few cases that I didn't get a chance to survey). However it took quite a bit longer
