Hi Neil Bottom Line: Don't put unverifiable data into OSM. I've always been against underground cables/pipes. The utility companies can't even map them accurately when they're being constructed! Drawing a straight line between two stations on, basically, as guess, adds no quality. They

And car manufacturers are legally responsible for 4 deaths every year? They'd soon be out of business if so. I can't believe that lending your neighbour a piece of equipment in good working order would make you responsible for injury. If you knew it was damaged, however, and did not make
