Hi Richard,

First, this changeset removed names "по желание" and added request_stop=yes + noname=yes. It is not something major. The rest of the changesets added request_stop=yes and/or fixed some typo / naming inconsistency, so everything mostly matches with the official source.

All stops have English names on paper. The signs do not represent reality since they are made with whatever the printer operator decided to use (if you were wondering from where the typos were coming from, now you know). ЦГМ's website shows mainly transliterated names because... nobody knows why. Their old site used proper English names but it looks like they lost them. Don't ask me how that could happen :).

You can see them on the validators in the vehicles. Just touch "EN" in the upper right corner of their screen and voila!

A new municipal ordinance was passed recently which has new rules for naming stops. It introduces a lot of restrictions on what names the stops could have and how they should be structured and translated into English. We will also get a lot of extra reference numbers and letters for which we will have to find place.

Because of that, a lot of stops are going to be renamed soon(ish). It is best to leave it as it is, without major changes for now. At least until the council makes the necessary decisions.

P.S. Not all name:en are transliterations. Enable the transport map and check out the tram stops.
