There seem to be a lot of canal bridge numbers in the ref tag around Cheshire, but not so many elsewhere. I've replaced them when I've spotted them. I've long used bridge_ref for canal bridges, in the same vein as lock_ref and lock_name. The only place that doesn't work easily is on a railway-over-canal bridge, but you can namespace those: railway:bridge_ref, waterway:bridge_ref. cheers Richard -- View this message in context: http://gis.19327.n5.nabble.com/Railway-bridge-numbers-tp5756366p5756384.html Sent from the Great Britain mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb
