The dumps that OSM has imported (and still is slowly importing, when I
get around to it), were provided directly by the DfT via their NaPTAN
download site, which always contains the current dataset (I believe
updated at least daily).
I will continue to import the dataset that is dated as 1st August 2009
22:21:35, so that we have a consistent set of data across the whole of
the UK.
Future update processes will be designed in such a way to replace data
that has not been touched by OSM users, and flag possible conflicts
between OSM and any NaPTAN changes for human review.
Regards,
Thomas
