<p>Hi Spike</p>
<p>I'm interested in importing my local area - Chorley, Lancashire.</p>
<p>I've filtered the Naptan file to get Chorley csv file. I've then
imported into JOSM conflation plug-in. I'm starting to understand
how the conflation tool functions and I think the results are
good. I've done several dry runs to get the technique correct. I'm
planning to manually review each bus stop - not too bad when there
are 3-400.</p>
<p>I too am trying to realise what Naptan codes and fields need to
be populated for each bus stop, and agree with following the PTv2
scheme.</p>
<p>I haven't performed the import as I haven't been through the
import authorisation process, and as Naptan is an established data
import I think that it will not be too difficult as long as the
process is correct.</p>
<p>Happy to work with you if you wish.</p>
<p>Regards</p>

</div>
<div>I'm interested in importing NaPTAN bus stop data (<a href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/NaPTAN/Import" target="_blank">https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/NaPTAN/Import</a>) specifically
for my area of the UK (Aberdeen).</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>As far as I can tell, some progress was made previously on
importing NaPTAN data for specific areas of the UK. However,
the process for requesting an import on the wiki seems to have
broken down somewhere along the line and I believe the python
script mentioned on the wiki is outdated.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I went ahead and wrote a 5 minute python 3 script to
convert the NaPTAN csv bus stops file into OSM XML which I can
import using JOSM. I'm splitting the data into files by local
area - here's an example of an area I'm familiar with (<a href="https://i.imgur.com/xE7TF2c.png" target="_blank">https://i.imgur.com/xE7TF2c.png</a>)
where you can see the import data (blue) line up well with the
existing data (black).</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>My plan for conflation was basically to do it by hand since
I'm familiar with the area and can take my time to do each
local area individually. However, I could probably also set up
some data matching by checking the stop names and offsets of
existing data.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>As for tagging, I'm unsure what the current status is
regarding the `naptan:` namespace. Looking at those tags, they
all seem pretty useless to me (except `naptan:AtcoCode` as an
identifier). Currently I'm just using roadside bus stops
marked with a shelter or pole and following the PTv2 scheme to
tag them as `highway=bus_stop`, `public_transport_platform`
and `bus=yes`.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>If anyone has any suggestions or input please let me know!
Obviously I won't be importing anything without some community
approval first.</div>
