text: Hi Chilly, thanks for replying. I appreciate that you previously carefully considered where to place it. If I understand your reasoning correctly, and to summarize your argument, it is primarily positioned where it is for rendering reasons? I also appreciate that there might not be a significant 'City Centre' in Hull.
  I'd still argue that we can do better than the centroid of the city area; e.g. if more of the offices and shops are in one area of the centroid than the other, we should use them to weight the position.  Viewing the transport map would suggest that both trains and buses seem to head towards a nexus near the Old Town and the Hull Paragon Interchange:

  I'd argue that the location of the city node has lots more significance than just a 'node to hang the name on'.  If there are multiple city centres, then we should enumerate them and pick the centroid of them. For me the current location suggests the following: that there is some sort of high street/shopping area near Sculcoates, which can be regarded as the center of Hull, and that the Old Town, Drypool and Victoria Dock areas (which definitely don't look residential) are not really in Hull.
