Both stations are part of the same MetroWest Phase 2 scheme. |

The land currently labelled Harbour Road Treatment Works will be the main car park. West of Quays Avenue, the area shaded light brown, will be the overflow car park. The track will end as shown, east of Quays Avenue. Fly-through video: |

| 5069980 Category: Unknown | 1 | ~ 10 months ago | opened | JackML | Course of Mylnes Culvert incorrect at this point. I have an Environment Agency map showing the correct course: • St Stephens Street • Under St Stephen's Garden • Along Marsh Street to Prince Street. A stormwater culvert runs from my pin and under the Centre to Cascade Steps. This is the culvert that many Bristolians believe is the River Frome, as it was before the construction of Mylnes Culvert. If you need to see the map you can email me: jackmartinleith@gmail.com. Thanks for giving this your attention. Jack |
| 2 | ~ 9 months ago | commented | mstrbrid ♦172 | Hi, did you mean to locate this pin here? I've just happened on to it by chance and can't quite figure out what you intend to mean. The route you're describing seems to be that which I've mapped | |
| 3 | ~ 9 months ago | commented | JackML | Looks like you've not read my note properly. Mylnes Culvert, runs from Stone Bridge beneath Quay Head (southern tip of Electricity House), around the EAST side of St Stephens Church (there's a curve here) then following the course of Marsh Street to Prince Street, thence picking up the route you've mapped. Also from Stone Bridge there's a stormwater culvert running beneath the centre to No.1 Harbourside bar, what many Bristolians wrongly believe to be the Frome outlet. You've conflated the two culverts. Hope this is now settles the matter. I've been studying this topic for many years and can provide evidence if you need it. | |
| 4 | ~ 9 months ago | commented | mstrbrid ♦172 | Right, and that is how it is currently mapped. Why have you placed this pin on Frogmore St? | |
| 5 | ~ 9 months ago | commented | JackML | I didn't put the pin there. I put it on Quay Headm by Milk Thistle. Your mapping puts Mylnes Culvert under Broad Quay, which is incorrect. The culvert below the Centre is a separate entity that terminates below Cascade Steps, close to No.1 Harbourside. Two culverts. Mylnes Culvert goes around St Stephens Street and then follows Marsh Street. Please escalate this issue as you seem unable to make sense of my words. | |
| 6 | ~ 9 months ago | commented | mstrbrid ♦172 | Please know that I'm not affiliated with the OSM Foundation or data working group - I'm a member of the public with an interest in open source maps. There is no-one to 'escalate' the issue to unless an OSM-contributor suspects vandalism to the map database has occured. I would recommend you familiarise yourself with the concept here: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/ For clarity, the new pin you've just made at the correct location (https://www.openstreetmap.org/note/5097398), but let's continue the discussion here for convenience. The route of the Frome into the floating harbour before the construction of Mylne's Culvert is represented by the following way: https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/1449669104 This was, until a month ago, included in the River Frome relation, based on OS maps from before Mylne's project and which are no longer to copyright, but are, as you point out, no longer up to date. The Frome relation now includes Mylne's Culvert as it is, as you say, the course which the water follows under normal conditions: https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/2863283 I mapped this route from design drawings of Mylne's Culvert after receiving permission from Bristol Archives to do so. These drawings show the route approximately (probably within 10m). If you have access to information which could improve the accuracy and is compatible with OSM's terms of use (https://osmfoundation.org/wiki/Licence/Contributor_Terms) - fantastic! I would suggest familiarising yourself with how to edit the map and correct it directly yourself, acknowledging the source of the changes and including in the changeset comments a confirmation that the source meets the OSM's Contributors Terms | |
| 5051691 Category: Unknown | 1 | ~ 10 months ago | opened | JackML | This site is now Global Centre for Rail Excellence, currently under construction. There are various track diagrams online. This one is very clear: https://expedition.uk.com/project/global-centre-of-rail-excellence/ As you can see, the rail line enters from bottom left and feeds various test tracks. There's a Wikipedia entry at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_Centre_of_Rail_Excellence. This will be a significant facility for south Wales and the UK rail industry, and updating the map will be widely appreciated. Thanks. JML |

| 3 | ~ 10 months ago | commented | JackML | I'm not suggesting that you copy it. Just pointing out that the current map is out of date and providing some clues for correction. Please do some research, as I have, and correct the current error, rather than fobbing me off. Thanks. | |

| 2 | ~ 1 year ago | commented | mstrbrid ♦172 | Now updated. Give it a few days and let me know if any further edits are needed | |
| 3 | ~ 11 months ago | commented | cryptickryptos ♦233 | The Old Malt House, as in the performing arts theater, no longer exists. Old Malt House still remains as the name of the building and is thus in the address of the Jam Jar; I'd update this myself although the way the building is mapped makes me uncertain as to which specific part of the building is the Jam Jar vs other units. | |
| 4 | ~ 11 months ago | commented | JackML | Thanks. Club395 is at the same address. https://www.club395.uk/ It's a separate business. Best wishes, Jack | |
| 5 | ~ 11 months ago | commented | mstrbrid ♦172 | Both Jam Jar & Club395 are mapped as separate nodes, along with all the other businesses which occupy the Old Malt House. I've double-checked businesses today in person with one of the Club395 managers. Seems like the default OSM Carto 'map' doesn't render amenity=events_venue, but they are all there, searchable and visible on apps which do show events venues, so you'll find them there on whichever OSM editor you prefer |
