Hi Mac'
Could you clarify the significance of the colours tag?You've created new NCN 1 relations. What is their purpose?

Hi,
Red is the official colour on NCN route and the background colour for route numbers on signs.
Use of colour for routes is mentioned in https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Relation:route#Tags.
This colour tag is used by e.g. https://cycling.waymarkedtrails.org/#?map=13!51.4031!-0.2934 to set the colour used to underline route numbers.
In a similar vein, the osmc:symbol tag is used with hiking route, e.g. https://hiking.waymarkedtrails.org/#route?id=10058046
Regarding new NCN 1 relations: there are alternative NCN 1 route sections that hadn't been mapped as part of the NCN, e.g. sections that would have to be used to follow NCN 1 when https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/605748677 is closed at night.
Also, as a relation:route should be one continuous line of travel, I've mapped branching sections of NCN 1 in individual relations where necessary. In practice, this make identifying gaps or similar errors in any type of relation:route easier.
Regards,
Mac

Hi
Thanks for the notes on colour.https://overpass-turbo.eu/s/PLB
It's lead to situation of there now being at least 18 different relations for NCN 1 (and that excludes links (1)). It's lead to error & confusion Note how their tags vary. One of the main reasons for the introduction of relations was to easily tag it once & apply to the whole relation. Some are nested 3 deep (1992599 > 75880 > 10564435) I'm unaware of the benefits of that.I see no advantage in alternate routes being given unique relations.
