Hi Stuart, hi Derek, hi all, Sure, a marathon and field mapping would be great. And it can wait until after the election, for sure!
Regarding NAPTAN, see here http://bjohas.de/wiki/Maps/Kings_Cross/Comparison. While this is only kings cross, I've found the situation the same elsewhere. However, maybe the data has improved over the last year? Or maybe I got something wrong? Could be worth another look, but my experience was that it's not all that useful, i.e. many stations don't have entrances in the NAPTAN data at all, and often they are way off. I still have the GPX I produced a year ago and would be happy to share it of course. The experience with NAPTAN data partially made me to want to do something about the station entrances. They are important access features and I don't know of a good map source for them. Let me know what you think!
