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
<https://groups.google.com/forum/#%21forum/openraildata-talk> if you
want to get involved.
Megagronk has already been adding station codes. He has a list provided
by the ATOC and permission to use it in OSM. He has not been using your
scheme AFAIK.
