There are still cases where forward/backward are useful with P2-routes. E.g. a route with a loop and some members used twice but different directions.
Personally, I still use forward/backward on any member of a route which is only used in one direction and for all P2-routes as it makes it much easier to get the direction of the route with incomplete data. cu fly Am 16.02.2015 um 08:40 schrieb Jo: > On the one hand I'm not adding roles to the ways in PT routes relations > anymore, instead I add all the ways in the correct order.
