Ahh, interesting Station in Au means it has a platform, and implies an office, a permanent employee and hopefully a toilet as well. Halt means there is no platform, you get to climb down from the train, and have to pre-arrange stopping in most places. You do not expect to be able to buy a ticket, find a toilet or have any assistance from the local employee. _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
