I have established a contact in the city council's transport team who has received the data we have checked with all of our comments about what we found so far. I hope he will use the data to feed back to NaPTAN so eventually the quality will improve all round.
I created a simple overlay for the city http://bus.raggedred.net to help to show the progress but also to highlight stops that we have found that need correction to the NaPTAN data. I like the idea and the look of NOVAM, esp. because it is national and updates regularly, but it doesn't yet show quite what I need to help the council team.
