[OSM-talk] route type relations bus routes and bicycle routes

[Steve Chilton]

The tube map mentioned (URL below) has been updated with the latest
planet, and as far as I can tell is now the complete network, with
overground and underground notation in place. Any comments welcome.
Disused stations, like York Raod now show - white circles, grey
lettering. Also, whoever mentioned the colour for DLR - could you
perhaps let me know the hex value and I will use that.
I would re-iterate what Andy says below. Can someone come up with a neat
way to render 2 or more tube lines from the same way? At the moment they
are tagged as say, Circle Line and District line and need to show as one
coloured line offset from another (probably by the pixel width of the
line style in use). At the moment the selection is done by filtering on
the presence of the main word (eg District) for the line in the tag, but
it obviously finds both and tries to render thus.

Cheers

It's basically the tube map problem - see
http://www.stevechilton.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/osm/tube/index.html - it
would be great to render the lines side by side instead of
intermittently over one another (like the Picaddilly (blue) and
Metropolitan (purple) between Uxbridge and Harrow in the northwest).
But that would involve things such as each tile knowing which order
the ones to the left and right have the colours in, and lots of other
tricky things like that.

Hopefully someone with dollops of genius will sort it out for us!

Cheers,
Andy
