railway segments
I notice the new live map (which is both up-to-date and looks pretty good) is showing railway segments now. Because of this, we should probably stop using railway segments for leaving notes on the map for other editors as we have been doing (which is a shame until we get another means of leaving map notes). I think display of railway segments is meant to be coming to the client too.
Aside from no longer leaving notes using railway segments, there are a couple of other ways we've been mapping railways that I'm not sure we should be doing - so what do people think? These are:
1. Tram lines, especially those that run along streets - for example, many parts of the Luas in Dublin.
2. Disused railway lines - we have a few of these mapped.
For tram lines, I think we should continue to map those parts that *don't* run along streets, and for disused railway lines, I think these can be mapped as long as there are usable tracks present, but if there is only a former railway line (and no tracks remain) then we shouldn't map them.
