Having surveyed (and resurveyed) about three hundred bus stops I think I could draft (soon) a definitive report on how to proceed.
There's also a few points to emerge about the Birmingham data 1. I'm coming across regular transpositon of stops from opposite sides of the road ( would be useful to have bearing data) 2. Not having the CUS marker on customary stops makes for hard work surveying and editing on estates where practically every other stop is CUS 3. Came across two routes (36 and 36C) where whole roads have had their bus stops physically removed (still showing as NaPTAN data) and the timetables show the roads as Hail and Ride zones. Couple of things here - I presume that actual practice has gone beyond the capacity of NapTAN data to keep pace ( I'll add the details to the NaPTAN error log on the mappamercia wiki shortly) and how do we import the HAR data - or represent it ( I can't remember where our previous discussions got to). In the meantime I'll probably just tag the roads as HAR=yes and HAR_route_ref= xx. (Without the timetable there's nothing visible on the ground to indicate to surveyors that they are in a HAR zone) Note for Thomas - I know you're into exam season - none of this is desperate - there's a few thousand more bus stops to survey and verify yet!
