I see that there are another 16 counties where a NaPTAN import has  
been requested[1]. Personally I have found the Suffolk data to be very  
helpful and would recommend that we get on with it. There is a  
Baslidon mapping party in Essex coming up and it would be great for  
them to have the data in first.

We did spot one gremlin in the source data in the formatting of change  
versioning which resulted in a small number of excess stops being  
imported. We have discussed this with the DfT/Traveline and they will  
get it fixed at some point but lets not wait for that. Can you do a  
work round Thomas? If not I would suggest we get on with it anyway as  
any issues will be picked up on the ground survey anyway.

Am I right in assuming we are only importing bus stops on this pass? I  
notice that some ferry terminals were not imported in Suffolk - not a  
problem but it would be good to get the railways entrances, ferry  
terminals tram stops and indeed the ATCO codes for railways stations  
etc in at some point.
