Using Nick Burch's excerpt script, I have prepared a UK-only planet.osm available for download from the dev server at: http://nick.dev.openstreetmap.org/downloads/planet/uk-061112.osm.bz2 This contains everything in the bounding box 7W, 49N, 2E, 59N. I hope to turn this into a cron job and make it automatically available each week. Nick
