Nice find. Digesting now.<br><br>One of the problems with the unified stoparea proposal is that it suggests mapping one way per tram/rail track, which currently looks a bit of a mess in the default renderers.<br><br>Going forward, we'll have to address this somehow. Either we have a way per track, and leave renderers to somehow figure out how to draw a single line through the middle, or have a way per track except at stations, or have a way per track plus a way down the middle for the 'line' (though this'd be a bit confusing when editing).<br>

I have been catching up on this great proposal to unify bus/tram/rail<br>
interchange modelling....<br>

<br>
Here is a CEN standards document that has lots of great diagrams of<br>
all sorts of transport interchanges from the very large to very small<br>
from pages 42 to 66 on this document and proposes how they should be<br>
modelled by the professional community in the EU. It is a very new<br>
standard, not yet signed off, that covers everything that NaPTAN does<br>
not cover.<br>
<a href="http://www.naptan.org.uk/ifopt/" target="_blank">http://www.naptan.org.uk/ifopt/</a><br>
<br>
It is worth looking at for ideas about modelling and for suitable<br>
terminology. The example interchanges would be good resources against<br>
which to test our proposed modelling against before doing loads of<br>
coding of actual places.<br>
