[Talk-transit] Fwd: [OSM-talk] Train station names: "Place Station" ou just "Place" ?

[Frankie Roberto]

I've been starting to do this, using ref= on the station relations (eg see
http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/relation/255163).

You can get a full list of the station codes (and the official names) from
http://www.nationalrail.co.uk/stations/codes/

Can I invite anyone mapping UK railway stations to add references to
stations you've mapped to this wiki page:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/United_Kingdom_railway_stations
