I agree that NaPTAN can and does add value and I expect that the data 
will get imported. Peter's suggestion of using more up-to-date data for 
the areas that have not yet been imported makes good sense.

In response to your request for a discussion, I wanted to point out that 
there are errors in the data and these errors are usually only corrected 
by someone checking the stops on the ground.  Most of the errors I have 
found in the 2100 stops I've checked are not related to position, but 
about 6% of all these stops were missing on the ground.

Cheers, Chris
