Perfect for a Leaflet overlay, though.<br>

As it happens the Phase 2b shape files are available. Just rather buried<br>
under an obscure filename.<br>
<br>
I'll post again once I've made the route updates for 2b (Manchester & Leeds)<br>

Subject: HS2 phase 2a preferred route<br>
<br>
Folks,<br>
<br>
I've just added the Jan 2016 preferred route alignment for HS2 phase 2a<br>
(West Midlands to Crewe) along with the associated tags, converted from the<br>
<a href="http://data.gov" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">data.gov</a> OGL shapefile to OSM format as per previous HS2 additions I've<br>
undertaken. All ways are also added into a single relation for ease of<br>
reference/selection.<br>
<br>
The upload sits in one changeset<br>
<a href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/44037689" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.openstreetmap.org/<wbr>changeset/44037689</a><br>
<br>
The uploaded data basically duplicates the consultation alignment (with a<br>
very slight few meter offset) that was uploaded as the Phase 2 consultation<br>
alignment in 2014. Once the OGL shapefiles are available for the now<br>
preferred phase 2b (Crewe to Manchester & West Midlands to Leeds) I would<br>
propose to remove the original Phase 2 2014 data from OSM so that the data<br>
properly reflects Governments now preferred routes and the proper<br>
distinction between the three main phases of the proposed HS2 (Phase 1,<br>
Phase 2a & Phase 2b -West and East). This will also eliminate the apparent<br>
current data duplication over the Phase 2a portion between the West Midlands<br>
and Crewe.<br>
<br>
The only data that appears to be missing in the Jan 2016 Phase 2a shapefile<br>
is the proposed HS2 linespeed. I could copy the linespeed data from the<br>
Phase 2 consultation version though I do not know if it would be entirely<br>
correct. For now I'll ignore as it can always be added from a suitable<br>
source later.<br>
<br>
Any comments please add them in the changeset comments.<br>
<br>
In other rail related updates I made new road layout final changes at Norton<br>
Bridge WCML upgrades near Eccleshall at the weekend. All works are now<br>
complete there.<br>
Also for those near Peterborough the new rail diveunder at Werrington has<br>
just stared detailed design with the contractor now on board for<br>
construction.<br>
<br>
<br>
Cheers<br>
Andy<br>
