Hi all, after an unsuccessful first try on writing a NaPTAN-OSM Merger (due to my attempt of using an overly flexible data model which -- of course -- turned out to be terribly slow) I finally got a very very early version of a NaPTAN-OSM merging utility going. You can find it on http://www.mappa-mercia.org/cgi-bin/naptanmerger.wsgi/
It is not yet much of an actual utility but only a map showing markers for each bus stop from OSM (green) and the NaPTAN dataset (yellow). However, if I find this quite nice to see how OSM and NaPTAN data compares. The next thing I plan to add is a panel on the right side that shows the details of a bus stop when clicking on it and a list of bus stops with similar names/codes in its vicinity. Selecting one of these stops should then merge the two bus stops into one (which then somehow needs to be updated in the OSM database as well ...) Markers are only displayed in the four highest zoom levels because otherwise the large number of visible markers slows down the map too much. I extracted all nodes in the Birmingham area from the OSM database which have either a highway=bus_stop or a source=naptan_import tag set. Tags with highway=bus_stop are considered to be OSM stops everything else is considered to be a NaPTAN stop.
