Is this Medipill Pharmacy?

Should Elsfield Road and Oxford Road through Marston be tertiary?

Pro:
- they distribute village traffic to the more major roads, library, and schools
- route to the Victoria Arms for visitors
- a bus route
- certainly a bit more than just residential minor roads

Cons:
- still quite narrow
- no centre line (but many far clearer tertiaries within Oxford don't have them either)
- restricted to destination only (unless you're a bus)

Potential consequences:
Probably Old Marston Road in New Marston is tertiary too, if these are.

Large, 4 or 5 storey building under construction here, needs mapping

Encountered a duplicated 55 here on the end of what I've redone as an odd-number 'addr:interpolation'. I've demoted it to 53, but the numbering might need checking.

[for info and to save me the bother of remembering it in future]:
Based on the Mogridge Drive numbering, these are street addresses ('addr:housenumber') that just happen to be physically inside an apartment block. That means the building name does not form part of the address: they can't each individually be "Russet House", that's a separate object. If they were 'addr:unit's, things would be different, but they aren't. 'addr:interpolation' cannot interpolate 'addr:unit' or 'addr:flats', just 'addr:housenumber' nodes on the end, *such* a pain. Blame the folks who came up with the Karlsruhe addressing schema for OSM, not me!

Bus routes on Abingdon Road need updating.
X1, X15, X32 are missing.
43 should terminate in Abingdon.
X40 and 46 go via Iffley Road now.
