You went off-liste
Dammit. Can we change the reply-to settings? (or has that debate
been done to death already?)
I am happy to change the settings for this list, but then it will be
different from most other lists. Lets have a poll and follow the
majority. I will stay neutral!
Btw, could a couple of people also offer to be admins for the list and
get to see all the exciting spam offers (of the normal limited
variety!) and ban the posters of these messages, oh, and also very
occasionally spot a genuine post. To give you an idea of the size of
the problem we get about 1 spam message a day.

I'd think I'd propose an alternative service such as
service=heritage (or stick with service=regional):
type=line
line=rail
service=heritage
ref=abbreviated name of railway (it's not like there's going to be
more than one service on the line)
Hmm, looks like I have some re-tagging to do then (after having
nearly completed the list at http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/WikiProject_United_Kingdom_Independent_and_minor_railways)
.
Is there any sense to having a route relation AND a line relation on
these types of railways?

The public transport schema says we should be tagging rail service

No route tag
line=rail
service = high_speed / long_distance / regional / commuter

Could anyone offer guidance on how this applies to 'heritage'
railways? eg http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/relation/162879 and
those listed on http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/WikiProject_United_Kingdom_Independent_and_minor_railways
Some of the things I've noted:
* The "routes" (in terms of the the route of the actual trains)
usually match 1 to 1 with the physical "line", except:
* Sometimes the operational line extends beyond the final train
station, but trains either don't use that section, or do use these
sections, and simply travel to the end of the operational line, stop
(but don't let passengers on or off) and then travel back again.
* Some of the railways have sidings / train sheds mapped - these can
be considered part of the overall railway, but aren't part of the
route that passengers experience.
Any thoughts?
I've also used railway=heritage on some of the relations, as I think
this could be more descriptive than railway=preserved (as sometimes
the heritage lines operate on newly-built lines/diversions, rather
than the exact historical old lines).
