We haven't touched on Overhead Power yet, but there is a proposal to rationalise and extend pt tagging at present that could include it:- http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-transit > Oh and London Bridge is a mess, on 5 or 6 Layers.

Lots of current discussion about tagging of complex stations on talk- transit. And also.... I think the railway lines in london need relations for each line. Currently the names of lines are encoded in the ways which just doesn't work. One ends up with ways named as 'Circle, Hammersmith and City, and Metropolitan line' http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/4453689 Would any object if we were to remove the names from the ways and at the same time create ways for each line? Fyi, at ITO we have been doing some work on relationships for railway line which seems to be very effective. Here is an example: http://osm.cdauth.de/route-manager/relation.php?id=138843 Possibly we could do something similar for the underground http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tube_Network_Map Fyi, Joss (who works for ITO) is in the process of preparing a new OSM railway wiki page in his user area which lists lines and gives relations where they are available. http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/User:JossSmithson/UK_railways Regards, Peter > > > Peter. _______________________________________________ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb
