[Talk-transit] NaPTAN - Time for the rest?
Hello all, It's now been more than a year since we got permission to import the NaPTAN dataset, so far only 53 of the 143 counties that we have the data for have been imported. So, in short, is it time for the rest to be dumped in? Discussion please.

Re: [Talk-transit] NaPTAN - Time for the rest?
That certainly sounds good to me. Along those lines, what are the chances of importing updated data from a newer edition of NaPTAN for the existing regions? In London I know of several areas where bus stops have been relocated/reconfigured recently (Camden Town, South Kensington) so OSM is already out of date. I've mentioned this before, but the other thing I'd really like to see imported from NapTAN is the pedestrian entry/exit locations for rail and tube stations!

Re: [Talk-transit] NaPTAN - Time for the rest?
Thomas If you want a refresh of the NaPTAN dataset, then just ask me and I will arrange for this be made available. I appreciate that this could be a two-edged sword it would update the data, but in the areas where work has already been done on the data from a year ago, it may over-write any local edits made to that data - or has this already been taken into account, so that new data would sit alongside existing data and would only be accepted if it is appropriate at each location?

Re: [Talk-transit] NaPTAN - Time for the rest?
I would certainly hope that any updates are not used to overwrite existing local edits. I have spent far too many hours checking and updating the data to have a newer version overwrite it. A smart merge would be more useful, I would write it if required. As too 'dumping in' the remaining county data I would prefer that it is handled locally where possible. The NaPTAN data is useful and good in parts but needs checking and improving too. I think too much data is imported just because it is available - I prefer imports to add value. NaPTAN can add value but that is best realised by someone local to the import managing it.
