Hi Spike
I'm interested in importing my local area - Chorley, Lancashire.
I've filtered the Naptan file to get Chorley csv file. I've then
imported into JOSM conflation plug-in. I'm starting to understand how
the conflation tool functions and I think the results are good. I've
done several dry runs to get the technique correct. I'm planning to
manually review each bus stop - not too bad when there are 3-400.
I too am trying to realise what Naptan codes and fields need to be
populated for each bus stop, and agree with following the PTv2 scheme.
I haven't performed the import as I haven't been through the import
authorisation process, and as Naptan is an established data import I
think that it will not be too difficult as long as the process is correct.
Happy to work with you if you wish.
Regards

Hey folks,
I'm interested in importing NaPTAN bus stop data
(https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/NaPTAN/Import) specifically for
my area of the UK (Aberdeen).
As far as I can tell, some progress was made previously on importing
NaPTAN data for specific areas of the UK. However, the process for
requesting an import on the wiki seems to have broken down somewhere
along the line and I believe the python script mentioned on the wiki
is outdated.
I went ahead and wrote a 5 minute python 3 script to convert the
NaPTAN csv bus stops file into OSM XML which I can import using JOSM.
I'm splitting the data into files by local area - here's an example of
an area I'm familiar with (https://i.imgur.com/xE7TF2c.png) where you
can see the import data (blue) line up well with the existing data
(black).
My plan for conflation was basically to do it by hand since I'm
familiar with the area and can take my time to do each local area
individually. However, I could probably also set up some data matching
by checking the stop names and offsets of existing data.
As for tagging, I'm unsure what the current status is regarding the
`naptan:` namespace. Looking at those tags, they all seem pretty
useless to me (except `naptan:AtcoCode` as an identifier). Currently
I'm just using roadside bus stops marked with a shelter or pole and
following the PTv2 scheme to tag them as `highway=bus_stop`,
`public_transport_platform` and `bus=yes`.
If anyone has any suggestions or input please let me know! Obviously I
won't be importing anything without some community approval first.
