UK Rail Network

Posted by kaerast on 2 December 2008 in English.

I've been tidying up the uk rail network today, and I must say it's looking better for it. I've fixed incorrectly tagged lines all over the place, with just a few left I need to query - railway=incline being one.

I've rendered a very big map of it, which made finding the stations not attached to railway lines easier and the train geeks then saw it and pointed out "shouldn't there be a line/station there" so I added in a couple of openstreetbugs.

There's a discussion on a new tagging schema for rail which I like the look of. It should end up less messy than the current situation, from what I can tell. See osm.wiki/Talk:Key:railway#New_tagging_schema...

If anybody wants a copy of my uk rail map, pm me - at 4Mb it's rather too large to just host publicly at the moment.
