Re: [Talk-transit] Multiple ref=* on route=train

Hi Janko

In my experience all railway companies give a journey a reference 
Headcode like that, though the format differs. In Great Britain the 
format used is ncnn, so for example 2P44 is a train from Manchester 
Victoria to Preston  departing 10:05. the next service will be issued a 
different Headcode. The Headcode is usually used internally within the 
railway; some  GB trains show a reference number on the doors and 
announcement system - this is not the headcode but the train number and 
is different for each service, look at https://traksy.uk/live to get 
unofficial service data and train locations  in GB.


Personally I am not convinced that the headcode or train number is 
useful as a reference, they change every 6 months when the timetable 
changes (most of Europe) - so a maintenance nightmare.


I think that a service reference which every train on a route uses and 
is shown on the vehicle is useful - such as the service number for a 
tram or bus - like you have created for the service 150 Garaža Tuškanac 
- Gornji grad.

Hi!

The local rail transport company has a timetable where each departure 
has its own ref. So a train goes from A to B in the morning, and that 
has a ref 8005. Then it goes the same route an hour later, and that is 
8007. Anyway, during the day, the same route is done 21 times, and 
tags on my relation look like this:

Does this make sense? Do other companies have the same way of putting 
refs on their departures? How do you deal with it?


Thanks,
