[Tagging] Ordering of routes, possible mapathon? Was: Re: rail routes: how are platforms and stops associated (rail question 2)

Thanks for the clarification, yeah I know that warnings in JOSM, specially those with Info level, often can be ignored. As I am working with lines in a metropolitan area with at least 7 different operators, I guess having tidy relations make data more easy to validate. I have until now focused on making master_route relations for lines with more than 1 route relation, but can start looking into completing all routes with a master_route as my work gets more completed. There is still a lot to do with more than 500 lines + variations.
