TEXT NOTE (TEXTNOTE) [String; Yes; 50; Pop_Dep] Descriptive note to appear on map. Text Note field should be added when directed in the Geodatabase Rules or if descriptive information is known about a feature that is not covered by any other item in the feature class and expands on the definition of the feature.

At 1:100 000 size and any other selection criteria apply to all feature occurrences.

At 1:250 000 size and any other selection criteria apply to new feature occurrences. All feature occurrences existing in the TOPO250K NTDB will be retained unless there is clear evidence they no longer exist.

Railway tunnels will be shown as points when they are shorter than 1 mm to scale.

Tunnels which carry both road and railway traffic will be held as a coincident road tunnel and railway tunnel feature in their respective layers.
 
Railway tunnels will be named where name is known, the name will be held in the textnote field.  

Railway Tunnel Line will be coincident with the equivalent section of the Railway. There must be a vertex in the Railway feature at the exact location of the start and end points of the Railway Tunnel Line. The Railway must continue outwards from both endpoints of the Railway Tunnel Line.

Railway Tunnel Lines may be shown off the rail network if they are on a dismantled railway.  

The points of disappearance and emergence of Railway tunnel features will be shown by the feature Transition Point.

Railway tunnels will be named, where name is known.  

The equivalent section of railway associated with Railway Tunnel Line must not be symbolised on the map.
