There were some rather bad tempered posts from the railway lobby:-( I *thought* that the outcome was that the problem was acknowledged and that there were moves to amend the mapnik default style to render bridges again. But nothing happened. Having stirred up a hornets' nest once, I decided to leave it. But as I said there, it was embarrasing when showing "openstreet(map)" to newbies to have to explain that the many significant (often low) bridges in the area carrying abandoned mining railways over roads were mapped, but not visible. ael _______________________________________________ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb
