[Talk-transit] Fwd: [OSM-talk] Train station names: Place Station ou just Place ?

2009-09-25 Thread Richard Mann 
UK railway term for the three letter code (eg EUS for Euston) is (wait for
it): tlc
(most railway locations also have a 5-digit stanox, a 4-digit national
location code (nlc), a tiploc and several more, but for stations, the tlc is
the nearest to a meaningful short code)

I'd suggest something like tlc_ref

On the subject of railway stations. I think it would be good if tagged
them with their reference codes (no idea what the correct term is),
all the stations in the UK have codes and if you know them it's
quicker to use them while searching. I'm not such a geek I know all of
them but the ones I use regularly I tend to know (in the UK they're
also useful for the traintimes.org.uk site, e.g.
http://traintimes.org.uk/sav/eus
 gets the next trains from Stratford-upon-Avon to London Euston).

Just spotted the wiki mentions uic_ref so would this go under ref, or
nr_ref (national rail) or something else?

I've been starting to do this, using ref= on the station relations (eg see
http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/relation/255163).

You can get a full list of the station codes (and the official names) from
http://www.nationalrail.co.uk/stations/codes/

Can I invite anyone mapping UK railway stations to add references to
stations you've mapped to this wiki page:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/United_Kingdom_railway_stations

 They are CRS codes.
