Hi everyone

Yesterday afternoon we updated existing OSM NapTAN nodes in the West
Midlands Combined Authority area as per the plan documented in the wiki.

We used a specific TfWM user account and hashtagged the changeset
#tfwmnaptanrefresh

Basically we added/updated:

highway=bus_stop to all non-CUS stops
current route_ref data to all stops
standardised names: interchange stops ref only, all others common
name/street name
new naptan fields
"towards" data for all marked stops

***OSM position was left unchanged - it's more accurate than TfWM NaPTAN
data***

Please take a look an let us know what you think. I'll release a similar
email to talkgb soon

Next week's tasks:

Remove all NaPTAN nodes marked as DEL (these are bus stops that have been
removed)
Add all NaPTAN nodes addded since the original naptan import
Add shelter data (yes/no plus asset no)

Paul, the TfWM developer,  will make his code for merging existing OSM data
with new data freely available so that others can update their NaPTAN data
too. In fact it will work with any OSM data


Regards

Brian
