Would any kind soul like to demangle this bus route relation?

Help and support

I spent all day tagging a missing bus route relation in Downpatrick, Northern Ireland Relation: ‪Downe Hospital via Vianstown & Model Farm‬ (‪18515663‬) | OpenStreetMap
And yet again the ID editor has utterly mangled the order of all the ways :frowning:

It’s a ‘roundtrip’ relation, so it goes round in a closed loop with the same start and end point.
It also has 2 little loops that branch off and rejoin.
This seems to have made ID be sick in its own hair, and has defeated https://relatify.monicz.dev/ too.

I don’t think I can fix it in ID, because even if I try and manually reorder all the ways yet again, ID will probably scramble them on save :frowning:

Is there any very kind user of JOSM wno has a spare hour and would like to help fix my mess? :smiling_face_with_tear:
(And yes, I should just learn to use JOSM, shoudn’t I? :woozy_face:)

In my experience Relatify doesn’t like it if a bus turns around on a road.

Not volunteering to do this necessarily, but does this (broadly) run clockwise or counter-clockwise?

As this is Northern Ireland with right hand driving, it runs counter-clockwise.

Counterclockwise. (The stops in the relation are still in the correct order, I think. But ID has shunted blocks of ways around. Although it’s all a bit Schrödinger’s cat, because if I open the relation in ID to check it, doing that may re-order them again :pensive:)

I’ll give it a try!

Done, and “Bishop’s Brae Gardens” and “Bishop’s Brae Avenue” were in wrong order.

I knew someone would beat me to it before I checked back in on this thread.

Thank you very much indeed :smiling_face:

(I’m not sure those two stops were in the wrong order… the bus company (Translink)'s data is a mess… in this case, their data says the BBGardens stop is served first, then the BBAvenue stop on the way out of that loop… although I note the physical bus stop sign for BBAvenue is on the wrong side of the road for that… but I suspect in reality, the driver will stop at it in both directions if asked… plus the names of those stops are the other way round in the previous version of their dataset, then swapped in the most recent revision … it may be that Translink themselves have mixed them up…)
