[Talk-GB] NaPTAN updating for new bus stops

[Chris Hodges]

Hi Jerry,

Thanks, I might have a chance to look at your file tomorrow (lunchtime 
editing should stop now).


As for the shop, yes it's just "shop" according to the (big, permanent) 
sign over the door!  I had a look specially after spotting a note, and 
made a point of filling in the operator field so there's something more 
useful.  Very strange.  Maybe I should buy something and get a receipt.
