Nice, I expect this will make it's way into Robert Whittaker's Chain
Reaction tool [1], there is some overlap as I already collect data on
some banks [2], but because this is Open Data it should be prioritised.
The quality of it seems good enough to be used as a source for OSM
(maybe not the mobile branches, if we even want to map them).
