There's a bit more details via the Birmingham NaPTAN trail page: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/NaPTAN/Birmingham_Trial For an example of what I do when I merge the data see the following node example: http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/node/367694067 The tags with naptan: at the front are the import data and the rest are basically what I've taken from the stop sign on the ground. We remove the "unverified=yes" tag (verified=no perhaps in your case) once a stop has been verified and all the data merging complete. I use the merge tool in JOSM to merge the nodes. You will see also that I add "+ survey" to the source tag. Hope this helps folk.
