The NaPTAN data was imported for Hull and East Yorkshire at my request. I quickly realised that the data was of variable quality and resurveyed the ~1300 bus stops in Hull. Having corrected a large percentage of the stops, I informed the Hull council team, at their request, who then ignored me. I would not want any NaPTAN data re-imported in this area unless I was sure the quality has very substantially improved. Some working relationship with the council team who maintain the data would help too.
