I had the NaPTAN data imported for my local patch. The data is based on submissions from each local authority and I think the quality varies. I checked about a hundred stops and ended up surveying a couple of thousand bus stops because the quality was so poor. Locations were missing, in hopelessly wrong places and the meta data was often wrong. The local authorities here don't seem to believe in sharing data so you may have a completely different result. If you plan to survey some or all of the stops then using NaPTAN data as a hint to find them is useful. I suggest you check out a few first to assess the quality before any import.
You should email talk-gb and possibly the imports ml to see what people think, this ml doesn't have a wide audience Cheers, Chris On 30 June 2015 10:43:20 GMT+01:00, Stephen Dawkins <[email protected]> wrote: >Hi > >I was just starting to map the bus routes in Brighton, UK, when I >noticed >that it's missing a whole bunch of bus stops.
