I've had occasional contact with someone in Translink, giving them mapping tips when they were tasked with mapping some transport elements. They've been in touch again recently with the following request for info. Is there anywhere or anyone in particular that I could direct them? It's rather out of my field of knowledge. ----

Could someone give me a shout if you know a good place to direct them for advice? Even the right contacts in the south, because that might inform whom to approach in the north. So far they've been friendly and very appreciative of being shown the basics of OSM mapping, etiquette and so on.
