[talk-au] Railway Station naming

Re: [talk-au] Railway Station naming

I actually think the word station on the name is coming with some form of import of Public Transport Victoria data. I've been cutting it off when I see it appear. Also I've noticed people are adding closed, disused or whatever to the name tag. Possibly because disused isn't being rendered

Re: [talk-au] Railway Station naming

I've seen some tagging that is questionalble too. Generally I leave it alone .. enough to do without thinking things too closely. I think where it is saftey related then putting in the name things like hidden rocks (on a 4WD road) is ok. I've not considered 'closed', 'dissused' etc. For

I'm relatively new to OSM, but thought that I would weigh into the debate. I lived in Ferntree Gully for 5 years (84-89), and then travelled through both Upper Ferntree Gully and Ferntree Gully stations for another 10-15 years. As far as I can remember, the signs at the station have always used

I'd keep both names - name= and alt_name= ( or old_name=). This is better for lookup purposes, as either version would then find this station. And it's not wrong, as it seems the other version was correct at one time. Whether that would be acceptable to the other editor is another problem.
