Living in the borough, I'd hope to get as much finished asap, I've got half term coming up soon - I hope to make a big dent in the blank areas with at least 5 days of solid mapping. I know of one bus that goes from Kingston to Morden, and it's fairly easy to get from there to Sutton. I'll update the wikiproject sutton/london pages with my progress from last month. I'll also add as an aside that someone has recently added in the southern greater london boundary fairly inaccurately, this is just a note to self to fixup the sections with sutton. -- Regards, Thomas Wood (Edgemaster) _______________________________________________ Talk-GB mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/talk-gb
