[OSM-talk] London Underground stations?

[Pragya Agarwal]

Hi all,
This is my first email on this list although I've taken keen interest in
OSM for last few months and been following its progress.
I'm interested in mapping underground networks and have been developing
some work on this (also a research proposal to follow). I'll be keen to
liase with anyone else who has an interest in this.
Regards
Pragya
