Good to have you involved Stuart. Locally we're aware of CUS and HAR bus stop types.
We have elaborated a local schema for names which is detailed on the wikipage <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Automated_Edit_West_Midlands_NAPTAN_data#Process_Overview> This suits us and TfWM but might not be to everyone else's liking Basically: Interchanges: stop ref (not sure of the NaPTAN nomenclature- but it has the format SN5 , BK3 etc.) Non-interchanges Street Name/CommonName Bus Stations: Stand X Regards Brian On 3 February 2017 at 18:29, Stuart Reynolds < stu...@travelinesoutheast.org.uk> wrote: > Hi Brian, > > If you are updating the data in OSM from NaPTAN, then I agree that this is > long overdue. > > For the benefit of others, can I just mention some specific stop point > types that are in NaPTAN that editors may be unfamiliar with (and which I > think have caused some confusion in the past): > > > - CUS are Custom and Practice stops.
