Today I added all the bus_stops on the X6 route between Huddersfield and Leeds. I planned on doing the same on the return journey too, but the gps signal on the return bus was even worse than the first. I'm contemplating adding in a relation for the X6 route, but since it probably wouldn't be used I'm not sure I can be bothered.
That's probably the last of my mapping in Yorkshire this year, I have a list of Bradford CCTV cameras [1] to add in but that requires visiting them all - a) because I'm unclear as to ownership of the list and b) because the locations aren't exact anyway.
Saturday I head off to Wales, possibly mapping a really annoying missing part of railway line [2] which I think is tunnel / big embankment and therefore no gps signal.
Then I'm in wales for a week, hopefully mapping some of Haverfordwest and then I'm in East Anglia for a few days hopefully completing Walberswick (which would make our version better than Google). But time, weather and family will probably hamper efforts.

I always add the bus route relations where I can. Sure, the data might not be used now, but it might be used later. Especially for routing.

OK then, I've added the X6 route in as much detail as possible. There's a couple of places where the roads look a little odd (the guided bus route Manchester Road and the Leeds inner ring road joining Park Lane).

The 363 I have left unmapped because I only have part of the route, and the 72 I have left unmapped because gps signals were terribly weak in Leeds city center so I can't do it accurately.

Oh, and I didn't add stops for the X6 - on account of not knowing which ones it should stop at. And the X6 also runs in the opposite direction, which I haven't added but perhaps could do most of from memory.

I have been adding various bus routes in London. I will add them even if I don't have the full route or all the bus stops because I, or someone else can come back to them at a later date to update them. I add all the roads and bus stops to the relation.
