We could model the whole platform as an area with two additional ways at either side of the area polygon to add platform-side specific information. > There are some more ways that platforms are divided up: > > On the West Coast main line there are coloured zones, eg Gold Zone, > Purple Zone etc. > --%<-- > > The Japaneze use the position on the platform to suggest where to > board in relation to the exit at the destination station. (see > www.navitime.com - for the London Underground) A similar system exists for trains in Germany. Each platform is split into sections (A to G typically) and a large chart explains for each train stopping at the platform in which section each coach comes to halt. That's handy if you have reserved seats. I assumed that the coloured zones on the West Coast main line where used for the same thing (with the Gold Zone being the area where first class coaches stop :-) ) Christoph _______________________________________________ Talk-transit mailing list Talk-transit@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-transit
