I checked this on my way home this evening, been meaning too for a few days now, but only just got round to it. There are still a few British Rail style Double-Arrow signs, denoting that the station is part of the national railway network. I seem to recall this is also the case at other stations with the new Scotrail – Scotland's Railways branding, and still used on road signs pointing to these stations. I'm not totally sure what is happening to the stations with the Strathcyde Passenger Transport branding, these may be gradually replaced with the Scotrail one. Just to bring things back to the original question, I think that 'brand=National Rail' is an appropriate term (even if someone claims it may not be a "brand"), and for example the Glasgow Subway could be marked as 'brand=SPT_Subway' or similar, and likewise for other light rail and maybe tram networks? I think that most stations wouldn't need this adding initially (i.e. no mass change) but it could be helpful for areas with another network Donald OSM: drnoble -- Donald Noble http://drnoble.co.uk - http://flickr.com/photos/drnoble _______________________________________________ Talk-GB mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb
