Hi,
I am rewriting the conventions page about railways [1]. It was a bit
outdated...A few questions:- I kept the convention about the name ("L" followed
by the number of the line, e.g. L25). But I noticed it hasn't been followed in
many places (often 25 or L.25). Do we keep this convention or not? The HSL/LGV
lines have been given other names like "Ligne Nouvelle 1" or "LGV 3 - HSL 3".
What do we do these?
- The relations usually have a ref=L.25. (with the point). Still OK?- Some
switches/junctions have a name (e.g. Y Val-Benoit) and are tagged as
railway=junction. But this page [2] seems to suggest that railway=switch is a
better tag. Or do we keep the railway=junction tag for named switches/junctions?
- Railway stations: I guess we're supposed to follow the rules/guidelines in
this page [3]? Or do we have other opinions? E.g. in Visé [4] the tag
railway=station has been used 3 times...- Do we keep the distinction between
railway=station and railway=halt. As more and more stations (=buildings) are
closed, it seems to me that the distinction between the two has become quite
vague.
I'll probably come back later with more questions. Any other useful information
that could be added to the conventions page is welcome.
Regards,
StijnRR
