Hello folks,

Route relation names aren’t in a great state, are they?

Let’s say that I want to render cycle route names on a map (because, well, I 
do). I zoom in on a way along the East Coast of Britain and I find it’s a 
member of this route:
 https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/9579
 name=NCN National Route 1

Hm, ok. That’s not the name of the route, it’s a duplication of the ref (and 
network)


<scratches head>
I'm not sure I'm seeing the problem. What /is/ the "actual" name for UK cycle routes? NCN 4 is named as National Cycle Network Route 4 as that's what Sustran call it.
I'm not convinced names & refs *have* to be mutually exclusive.
