supportive of any way in which we (and the local editors who maintain NaPTAN
data as best they can) can get the feedback from OSM contributions to improve
data accuracy. I will be happy to discuss how best this can be done – but I
suggest that you and others on this list are much better placed to propose a
method that works within the framework of OSM.</span></p>

I suggest that the DfT/Traveline might consider making this interface available
to OSM mapping people to do the same or opening up a public version.</p>
