Hi all, Just had the same thing happen near me (Croydon) but by a different user (Zain Ahmad Hashmi, e.g. https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/34443141). The only thing that occurred to me is that all the edits involved ways passing over or under railway lines... although like Dave F I can't see what the actual improvement is.
Both "dataOne" and "Zain Ahmad Hashmi" joined Sep 15th, 2015, and seem to have done nothing other than a large number of similar edits. Either they're the same person/bot, or there's some source somewhere that is encouraging such edits for whatever reason. Thanks, David.
