[Talk-transit] Bus Stops in Bath

[Chris Hill]

The imports are not auto-merged. There is the NOVAM viewer: 
http://mappa-mercia.org/novam/ which helps compare the existing and 
imported stops. There are guidelines for dealing with the process of 
checking and merging stops too: 
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/NaPTAN/Surveying_and_Merging_NaPTAN_and_OSM_data

When I started in Hull I contacted the local council transport team (who 
maintain the data that ends up in NaPTAN) and they were interested in 
any feedback about the state of their stops. Your council might be 
interested too.

Cheers, Chris
