Network Rail release railway signalling data through their NROD platform, including Train Describer Messages in “C Class” and “S Class” variants. These messages refer to physical signals in the real world and various sites such as Open Train Times attempts to map these into diagram form.
As should be fairly evident, railway signals also tend to have a physical form and thus would be mapped to openstreetmaps. Is there any way we currently have of linking the data that describes the signals as can be found on the Open Rail Data Wiki?
I’m looking for specific tagging methods that would be something along the lines of:
- ref=“S165”
- railway:signal:GB-NR:signalling_area=“BE”
- railway:signal:GB-NR:signalling_address=“38:4”
Does something like this exist, and if not is there a standard way of introducing something like this?
