| 35938242 | The ref is the Network Rail engineers line reference (ELR) which refers to the rail line, not the bridge. Bridge references are formed of the ELR and an ordinal number (e.g. ECM1/204), and these are indicated by signs on the bridge. |
|
| 36061102 | The ref is Network Rail's Engineers Line Reference (ELR) for the line. These can be found on signs on bridges along the route e.g. "This is bridge GSM3 2 - High Street, Syston". Not exactly helpful for a rail passenger, but extremely helpful if you're a lorry driver who has just been involved in a bridge strike. |

| 36021167 | Edits reverted by changeset/36040444 - the Waikato Expressway is not a designated motorway. |
|
| 35582900 | I stand corrected - it should be passenger_lines=4 as far south as the old Clay Cross South Junction. I've even double checked against the sectional appendix and there appears to be a break in mileage and a change in engineers line reference at that point too. I'll correct it shortly. |
|
| 35582900 | You have to tag at least one way passenger_lines=2 for the renderer. Tagging the other way is just for redundancy (and I'm a bit OCD on ways matching). |
|
| 35582900 | "Ah, so you're tagging for the renderer!"
|
|
| 35582900 | One closer to home (for me) are way/106857413 and way/106857420.They are labeled passenger_lines=2 despite there being four parallel tracks because the two central tracks belong to a separate rail route and are super-elevated relative to the outer lines. They do not physically join together until Wellington Distant Junction to the south near Aotea Quay. (node/3235330766) |

| 35582900 | Here is the rendering of passenger_lines: http://product.itoworld.com/map/231?lon=-1.65321&lat=53.42826&zoom=8. |
|
| 35582900 | So if a two-lane road merges with another two-lane road to form a four-lane road, I should stat tagging them lanes=4 as soon as they are parallel, not when they merge?
|
|
| 35582900 | There are four parallel tracks geographically, but two sets of two parallel tracks topographically until you reach the junction north of Bridge Street/Hagg Hill. Another example would be the Underground District and Piccadilly lines between Acton Town and Earls Court - they run parallel geographically but topographically they never connect and therefore are separate lines.
|
|
| 35582900 | There are only two parallel lines at that point (the third appears to be a loop). Once the Midland Main Line and Erewash Valley Line physically join closer to Grassmoor, it goes up to passenger_lines=4.
|
|
| 35582900 | passenger_lines indicates the number of tracks a line has, e.g. passenger_lines=2 indicates a double track line. It replaces the deprecated tracks key. See passenger_lines=* |
|
| 35585126 | Sorry - tagging error on my part. It has been reverted to Erewash Valley Line |
|
| 33890248 | Ways deleted or shortened partially due to carelessness of reverter (list is incomplete)

| 33900557 | @SomeoneElse It wouldn't have happened if the reverter wasn't lazy. |
|
| 33900557 | This edit over-reverted and ended up removing a number of railway lines rather than just reverting speed limits to mph. |
|
| 26988039 | Based on Wikipedia article "Cross Country Route", but can also be called "Crewe to Derby Line" as far west as North Stafford Junction (near Willington) |
