[Talk-GB] NaPTAN (stop) import

[Oliver Jowett]

Right - I was just trying to understand which was the canonical source. One
of the things I've been wanting to try (but never have the time) is repair
the OSM bus route relations based on the TNDS schedule info - which sounds
very much like your track-finding system. But that gets dangerous if TNDS
is indirectly pulling data from OSM itself..
