Hello talk-ie,

I see you have a lovely new cycle route, the Waterford Greenway:

The mapping is a bit, shall we say... confused?

Quite a lot of the route in OSM seems to be ways which were formerly a preserved railway and have now had the tag 'highway=cycleway' added - but most of the old railway tags have been left, so we have the entertaining situation of an electrified cycleway with a loading gauge. I suspect there might be one or two sections where the cycleway actually isn't really there.

And then there's the route relations - oh boy. Random relations have been created, ways added to a 'superroute' relation, route relation tags added to ways, etc. etc. etc. It's all a bit of a horlicks albeit evidently one created with good intentions.

I've fixed a few obvious connectivity howlers, but it really needs a thorough tidy-up, and it would be better coming from someone local (or, at least, in the same country). In theory all the ways should be part of two relations (NCN relation 6686612, ICN relation 6641108) and should, obviously, connect with nearby roads where appropriate.

cheers
Richard
