Hi,

The admin2codes for England appear to be incorrect and the geonameId in admin2Codes.txt file does not match the geonameId in the allCountries.zip file when cross referenced against the corresponding admin2code?

For example the following should all come under a new admin2code name called 'Greater Manchester' instead they are still being represented as follows:

Code:
 NAME (from countries.txt)                 NAME (from admin2codes.txt)
 
 Bolton                                    Borough of Bolton
 Bury                                      Borough of Bury
 Manchester                                Manchester
 Oldham                                    Borough of Oldham
 Rochdale                                  Borough of Rochadale
 Salford                                   City and Borough of Salford
 Stockport                                 Borough of Stockport
 Tameside                                  Borough of Tameside
 Trafford                                  Trafford
 Wigan                                     Borough of Wigan
