All, I'm part of a group of people who are working to get a richer set of metadata attached to the railway network in Great Britain, specifically:
- Tagging railway stations with the three-letter CRS (computer reservation system) codes, which is widely used by train companies and the public to refer to stations, plus TIPLOC (TIming Point LOCation) codes - used in timetable planning - to relevant parts of stations, and STANOX (Station Number) codes used for train reporting - Adding junctions as nodes or closed ways (depending on their structure) to existing railway lines, along with their TIPLOC and STANOX codes - Adding Network Rail route codes to logical groups of routes and tidying up line names I've started using three tags - ref:crs_code, ref:stanox and ref:tiploc for locations, and ref:nr_route_code for route codes - they're attached to St Albans Abbey station and stations toward Watford Junction as an example. Does anyone have thoughts or comments on the above? I've set up a Wiki page at http://wiki.openraildata.info/index.php/AddingJunctionsAndSidingsToOsm and there's a mailing list at https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/openraildata-talk if you want to get involved.
