Strubbl 🐧@OSM_diaries_bot @ToniE Oh no, what comes next after Bus route relations? 😂
Lily@Strubbl @OSM_diaries_bot @ToniE Train route relations (especially long-distance trains that aren't a commuter service)?
Toni Erdmann@Lily @Strubbl @OSM_diaries_bot
Right, especially long-distance trains but also regional trains are not commuter trains - here in Germany commuter trains are called "S", aka sub-urban trains
@ToniE @Strubbl I was using it as a long distance/commuter binary because that fits all the train routes that I can think of in the UK.
Think tube train/train to Woking/Milton Keynes vs trains to Exeter/Birmingham/Peterborough (both examples from London).
However some 'commuter' services can be quite long distance (e.g Crossrail/Elizabeth Line), so I wanted to differentiate them.
We don't really separate service types that much in the UK into specific categories like in Germany.

@ToniE @Strubbl But yes, they are a pain, especially as I use iD mostly, so when the relations get big, it's hard to work on the members list (even for a lengthy bus route it's similar).
I tend not to touch them much, mostly it's been when I'm splitting platforms for some proper naming instead of something like 2;3, etc.
