That 'someone' was me and a couple of us have been working on it adding detail to the map over the past 24 hours including the spur and station boundaries. It is a 'wiki map' so others are also free to edit it however .... the UMapper site has none of the required social tools to moderate changes, not even a list of who has changed it and when, no roll back and no transaction locking - for that reason I am now intending to lock it down to a list of trusted editors in 24 hours time. Check out the Route section of the High Speed 2 Wikipedia article for links to viewing the KML on Google Maps etc. Also add your name to the talk page if you want to be a 'trusted editor'. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_Speed_2#Route I would love to see a way of creating overlays like this using Potlatch which is far cleverer than UMapper's editor. Such an overlay does not belong in OSM, but needs to be 'on' OSM.
