One or more running lines are grouped together in to a route - it's entirely possible for lines that run parallel (e.g. the line from Watford Junction - Camden Junction runs parallel to the line from Rugby to Euston) to be in completely separate routes, or for a line to change from one route to another mid-way. I'll mull over how to model a change between line names.

STANOX stands for Station Number, so isn't a code per se. However, for clarity, I'm happy to make them tiploc_code, stanox_code and crs_code, or perhaps prefix them with something else.

That is covered under the T&Cs at http://www.networkrail.co.uk/data-feeds/terms-and-conditions/, but separately I've also asked for explicit clarification that the static data is under this licence and they're happy for the data to be put in to OSM. I've also asked if they can provide a vector-based version of the INSPIRE data they've published - FOI request is at http://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/map_of_the_railway_network. I imagine this will be really useful to validate track layouts and fill in any gaps. Peter ___ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
[Tagging] Tagging GB railway stations and track
All, I'm part of a group of people who are working to get a richer set of metadata attached to the railway network in Great Britain, specifically: - Tagging railway stations with the three-letter CRS (computer reservation system) codes, which is widely used by train companies and the public to refer to stations, plus TIPLOC (TIming Point LOCation) codes - used in timetable planning - to relevant parts of stations, and STANOX (Station Number) codes used for train reporting - Adding junctions as nodes or closed ways (depending on their structure) to existing railway lines, along with their TIPLOC and STANOX codes - Adding Network Rail route codes to logical groups of routes and tidying up line names I've started using three tags - ref:crs_code, ref:stanox and ref:tiploc for locations, and ref:nr_route_code for route codes - they're attached to St Albans Abbey station and stations toward Watford Junction as an example. Does anyone have thoughts or comments on the above? I've set up a Wiki page at http://wiki.openraildata.info/index.php/AddingJunctionsAndSidingsToOsm and there's a mailing list at https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/openraildata-talk if you want to get involved.
