The dumps that OSM has imported (and still is slowly importing, when I get around to it), were provided directly by the DfT via their NaPTAN download site, which always contains the current dataset (I believe updated at least daily).
I will continue to import the dataset that is dated as 1st August 2009 22:21:35, so that we have a consistent set of data across the whole of the UK. Future update processes will be designed in such a way to replace data that has not been touched by OSM users, and flag possible conflicts between OSM and any NaPTAN changes for human review.
