Merging routes/ relations

I made a hiking route (relation>>route>>hiking), but inadvertently made two version of it (I forgot I had started it ages ago before being interrupted).

Is there a quick and simple way to merge the two into a single route? They are identical, but have separate id (r) numbers. I could do it by hand, but it would be a bit of a faff, given the slightly bone-headed manner in which relations are looked up in the Add Relation function (which is what caused the issue in the first place).

Any helpful tips much appreciated.

Hi, That question for the iD editor is answered here:- How can I merge two paths in the iD editor? - OSM Help

For other editors, it’s answered here:- Is it possible to merge relations? - OSM Help

Is it the North Bedfordshire Heritage Trail which is in two parts?

So not a way without a huge amount of faff. Not a good design choice.

Ho hum.

Yep. I started the northern bit ages ago, but life got in the way pretty soon and I forgot I’d done it, and while doing other stuff stumbled upon it again.

Hi, I’ve now joined the two sections into one relation, Relation 16161002
