[Talk-transit] Modelling complex stations

[Peter Miller]

I have been catching up on this great proposal to unify bus/tram/rail  
interchange modelling....

Here is a CEN standards document that has lots of great diagrams of  
all sorts of transport interchanges from the very large to very small  
from pages 42 to 66 on this document and proposes how they should be  
modelled by the professional community in the EU. It is a very new  
standard, not yet signed off, that covers everything that NaPTAN does  
not cover.

It is worth looking at for ideas about modelling and for suitable  
terminology. The example interchanges would be good resources against  
which to test our proposed modelling against before doing loads of  
coding of actual places.
