For an example of possible name mismatch, see the edit history for node: https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/485404488 which is shown at https://flic.kr/p/2igLCco For an example of stops being amalgamated see: https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/435846038 when

Re: [Talk-GB] Update bus stop names

Hey Neil, I don't know which nodes you are talking about, but of the ones I'm looking at (where "name" != name from new NaPTAN data using "naptan:AtcoCode"). The vast majority haven't been updated in 10 years, since the NaPTAN import, or one edit where "naptan:verified" was changed to yes. I am

Re: [Talk-GB] Update bus stop names

No, please don't update mismatched bus stop names "blindly". I've surveyed a lot locally and have updated them to the newest values from paper timetables -- which have newer names than on metal signage. They also match the names that the local council have used when updating OSM. A lot of names

Re: [Talk-GB] Update bus stop names

Hi Guys I imported NaPTAN data for my local area (Chorley) some months ago. Took the data for Lancashire and filtered on Town:Chorley. Some of the stops were excluded because the data had not been correctly input by reason of no entry, misspelt, wrong town entered. Using the JOSM:Conflate

Re: [Talk-GB] Update bus stop names

Hi Cj, What you have got there is Southern Vectis’s link to a subset of the current NaPTAN data. Please note, though, that Southern Vectis are not responsible for this data - that is maintained by Isle of Wight Council. NaPTAN data is always available by local authority, or for the entire

[Talk-GB] Update bus stop names

Hello, I've recently found an open data set with more accurate bus stop names than OSM. Based on my limited survey of differences in OSM data and this data, theirs has been more accurate. Not really surprising, since it's there network, and most of the OSM data hasn't been updated since the
