I've only noticed them because they're not actually part of ways at all, but a separate node to one side at the bus stop location. This has benefits in terms of accurate placement, but ofcourse breaks the topology somewhat. <BR><BR>The other piece of information for bus stops is the bus stop name. Most bus stops in the UK have an ID within a local area, usually just single letters: A, B, C etc although sometimes C1,C1 etc too. A ref tag of some description could deal with this. They're very useful to make sure you're catching a bus in the right direction... <BR><BR><BR></DIV></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE>I have to admit that some of those were probably mine. I just saw "node - highway - bus_stop" and thought "well I'll add a node on the side of the road as that's where the bus stop is", didn't think about the topology :-/<BR></DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>FWIW I did take photos of the stops and where possible added as much information as I could, (though now I look it's not all that much), an example would be:</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>highway=bus_stop</DIV><DIV>name=City Thameslink Station</DIV><DIV>note=Services - 8,25,242,521,N8</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>As you can see with no specific tag for the routes I just popped them in the note so they could be added later.</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>John</DIV><BR></BODY></HTML>
