No, please don't update mismatched bus stop names "blindly". I've surveyed a lot locally and have updated them to the newest values from paper timetables -- which have newer names than on metal signage. They also match the names that the local council have used when updating OSM. A lot of names were surveyed that didn't need to be changed -- I don't know how you would ensure that you didn't change them to some incorrect official value. Obviously, you shouldn't be changing names that weren't in the preious Naptan data -- you should at least assume that they are now newer and likely to come from surveyed data.
The best approach is either to add official_name (naptan_name?) and leave "name" alone, or provide a mechanism where local mappers can survey mismatches between your dataset and what is currently in OSM. At the very, very least you should move "name" to "old_name". Best regards, Neil P.S. At least locally there are locations where several bus stops have been amalgamated into a single one. Also some are now disused:bus_stop if no services are currently stopping there. _______________________________________________ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb
