A few questions about railways:-
---Relations for railway lines--- Firstly, we are currently working on the UK railway network creating relations for some of the Uk railway lines, mainly in East Anglia (for example east coast main line, east suffolk line, Felixstowe Branch etc). We are also going to tag the official route sections as defined by National Rail as separate relations later. http://openstreetmap.org/browse/relation/138742 If anyone wants to do something similar for other parts of the country then that would be great. ---Number of tracks--- We are proposing to add tracks=2, tracks=4 etc or lanes=2, lanes=4 for parts of the UK railway network (with a default of tracks/lanes=1). Currently people in the UK tend to use tracks=xx and in Germany lanes=xx. At the European level if is about even. Should we agree on one or the other? I am aware from previous conversation that there is an alternative to produce a way for each track but don't feel that this isn't always appropriate. ---Loading gauges--- We are also doing work on loading gauges in the UK and on the subject in general. Read about loading gauges generally here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loading_gauge We are proposing to start tagging the UK rail network with loading_gauge=W6a/W9/W10 etc. No ones seems to have used that tag yet - is anyone using another one? Any comments? Regards, Peter Miller _______________________________________________ Talk-transit mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-transit
