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. We have quite a few of these in India, where both sides are equally important like the New Delhi station: https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=17/28.64233/77.22188 In such cases its fair to add the marker in the centroid of the area, and not on any particular side. The station building would then help the user decide which entry is most convenient.
