Hi all,<br><br>I've spent some time this weekend going through the list of heritage railways: <a href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/WikiProject_United_Kingdom_Railways/Independent_and_minor_railways">http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/WikiProject_United_Kingdom_Railways/Independent_and_minor_railways</a> and adding route relations to them. I'm about 50% of the way through so far.<br>
<br>Some points/questions to the group:<br><br>* I've been adding both the ways and the stations to the relation - the stations as role=stop. Is this correct?<br>* Am not sure whether the name should still be attached to the ways or not. On the one hand, it's a lot of duplication, and in some cases, the way might have a different name from the route (eg it might be a bridge, with its own name). On the other hand, having the name attached to the ways might be useful for renderers.<br>
* I've given all the routes the name of the railway (eg "The Bluebell Railway") rather than the end-to-end name that is common for mainline routes (eg "London-Brighton"). <br>* I've added the website address of the railway to the relation in a few cases (using url=).<br>
* There are a few cases where the actual track extends beyond the final station (eg used for turning the train around, or as an occasional link to the National Rail network). I haven't included these bits within the relation, on the presumption that they aren't part of the 'route' that passengers actually experience.<br>
* Is there any additional information that could be captured at a relation level? Wikipedia reference? Months of operation? Operator? (this is often the same as the name)<br><br>Finally, if someone fancies doing a nice rendering of the UK clearly showing all of the heritage railway lines (perhaps with just terrain contours as a background), then I'll offer up to GBP 20 for a print of it... :-)<br>
