OK, I can see the problem. There were footpath tags on what should only have been marked as abandoned railway. I have restored the abandoned railway without the footpath tags, so it should no longer show as a footpath, but won't be a gap in the former railway line route.

It should be marked as private access if it is visible on aerial imagery. I will check and undelete if this is the case.

Hi Robert, Welcome from me too. If you switch on the optional notes overlay you'll spot this note which probably relates to the diversion. osm.org/note/1816071 I'm not entirely sure you're allowed to use the definitive map as a source, but the data is available under a compatible licence. See https://osm.mathmos.net/prow/open-data/
The GPS trace was probably one of mine from when I was planning (and testing and measuring) a pub walk some years ago http://www.tendringcamra.org.uk/rambale/#16/51.8832/1.1766 so I guess I'll need to update that route too, thanks. Best wishes, Ed

I'd have been tempted to use natural=grassland within a nature reserve, though they get rendered the same.

Hilly Fields is a Local Nature Reserve and is included in the data available from https://data.gov.uk/dataset/acdf4a9e-a115-41fb-bbe9-603c819aa7f7/local-nature-reserves-england

Doing a bit of googling to find our more about the area, it should probably be leisure=nature_reserve rather than leisure=park

Hi. I'm curious why you removed the track that is still visible in aerial imagery. Marking the track as access=private would probably be better, as it is likely to just get added back at some point.

I've just realised I've probably increased my discussed changeset count on the hdyc page by talking to myself here.

I should have checked https://hdyc.neis-one.org/?EdLoach first as that finds my first changeset 131741 as above much quicker than I did

My lowest numbered changeset was about four months later osm.org/changeset/9129 by which time I'd done lots of GPS tracing and mapping of Clacton.

Found an earlier one. These were in the days when I hadn't realised you had to update the name on every section of road separately. osm.org/changeset/131741 (also changes to the default map layer only got re-rendered weekly)

Found it (from the days before changesets, so this might not be numerically my lowest numbered changeset, but this is what I remember doing first, days before my GPS device arrived). osm.org/changeset/161389

Did you want to answer this note? osm.org/note/2355528 (Also looking at your source link, isn't the re-opening day midnight at the end of today, or earlier if the works are already complete?)

Funnily enough while I saw this announced in the press last month (e.g. [1]), Beestons have not yet removed the route from TNDS (as at yesterday's update) so online bus route planners still show it as running (e.g. [2]).

Hi. Are you sure about the bus stop name change from Coopers End to Car Rental Village? All the opendata and timetables that include the stop still refer to it as Coopers End (they could of course be out of date if the change is recent). e.g. the 309 https://bustimes.org/services/309-bishops-stortford-stansted-airport and 509 http://www.travelinesoutheast.org.uk/se/TTB/EFA02__00006ca5_AS.pdf - also if you have surveyed the stop it would help to remove the naptan:verified=no tag (and add a not:name=Coopers End tag if you're sure about the name change), so the sort of validation tools that compare OSM data and opendata don't flag it as a discrepancy. Thanks. Ed

816 is back this week, but with different route variants to before the deletion.

I should probably add that the National Express file in the opendata seems to update on Saturday rather than Tuesday, so with me only checking weekly there may be a short delay (as there was with the removal).

No, but if they return I will re-add them. I try and check every Tuesday evening (or Wednesday) after the weekly opendata release.

This should be in the opposite corner, really. I might move it when I get a moment (I shop there quite often, though have never been to the café).

Hi Cliveb, I'm afraid I don't know the iD editor well enough to say how easy this is to do, but we usually put house names in the addr:housename field rather than name - if you compare the current rendering to see the name stands out more than usual, and perhaps look at Bloomsbury House to the north of Meadow View in iD to see how the two look different. Best wishes, Ed
