Would it be sensible to create a PlusBus page on the wiki, and link to  
it from the NaPTAN user in relation to the upload? The Wiki page can  
describe what the features are about and can also be used to list  
issues that need to be resolved.

I am not offering to create the page so hopefully someone else will do  
that. (I am doing work on cleaning up other existing transit related  
wiki pages on when I have time).



Regards,



Peter
