I find the restriction of railway=station/halt to a node overly simplistic. This decision should not be over a "convenient meeting point" or "hand-tuned centroid". It should be about what's on the ground. A node is an abstraction of reality and I don't think we should stop here. Every station occupies some area and I would happily apply the rules of public_transport=station to railway=station: map the area which is of interest to passengers. 2016-05-19 8:40 GMT+02:00 Arun Ganesh <arun.planemad at gmail.com>: > The one point approach works for small stations with a single entrance, > but is a little misleading for large station complexes with multiple entry > points.
