It isn't a problem as such. The following tag "naptan:BusStopType=CUS"
means that it is a "customary" stop, i.e., somewhere that the driver
will pull over but it isn't necessarily marked on the ground. The
NaPTAN import guidelines are that "if a NaPTAN node is not physically
present on the ground but you have knowledge that it is used as a stop
then: Add a physically_present=no tag [, and] Add a highway=bus_stop
tag", i.e., it needs a survey to confirm its status.
