I was hoping that we would have visualisation of the relations in OePNV-Karte but it does not parse the NaPTAN data. My impression is that many of these are peculiar in Nottingham: for instance the Nottingham Road / Vernon Road stop place includes two tram stops (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/relation/258878">http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/relation/258878</a>); and Nottingham Road / Haydn Road extends for around 1500 metres (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/relation/258691">http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/relation/258691</a>), with one stop in the
group being a kilometre away from where I (as a bus user) would assume the stop place to be (i.e., by The Potters House church).</span><br><br>Jerry<br></div><div style="font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif; font-size: 12pt;"><br><div style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><font face="Tahoma" size="2"><hr size="1"><b><span style="font-weight: bold;">From:</span></b> Ed Loach <ed@loach.me.uk><br><b><span style="font-weight: bold;">To:</span></b> Public transport/transit/shared taxi related topics <talk-transit@openstreetmap.org><br><b><span style="font-weight: bold;">Sent:</span></b> Thursday, 22 October, 2009 15:38:27<br><b><span style="font-weight: bold;">Subject:</span></b> Re: [Talk-transit] NaPTAN case study<br></font><br>> I forgot to add: I agree with Peter, please drop the route_ref<br>> tag as a<br>> requirement for completed stops.
