Hello again,
In an osm:relation:route
<https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/relation:route> (type=route,
route=train/...), you have both platforms and stop positions. How is a
particular platform associated with a stop that serves it?
E.g. for public transport routing, you'd walk (highway=footway) to a
platform (public_transport=platform), at which point you'd change to a
train stopping at a stop (public_transport=stop_position). How would the
routing algorithm know that the platform is associated with the stop?
Is there an existing mechanism or convention, e.g. a tag on the platform
that indicates the stop, or both tagged with the same name or similar?
Thanks!

PS I've noticed that sometimes the stop position is at the far end of a
platform (i.e. the two stop positions are at opposite ends of the
station). Maybe that's so that an association can be made?
Answering your grand question:
As I interpret the wiki, it is the route-relation that ties together the
stop_position with the platform, by including them as a pair per "halt".
Imagine the "renderer" is a transit simulator that simulates a journey
from your home to somewhere via "Green line" that stops on track 1
(platform A), then the route relation of the green line contains both
the stop_position (a node on track 1) and the platform (platform A).
It would then plot a walking route to platform A, then transfers you
into the train (on track 1) and along the route.
I know of people who use a stop_area-relation for each
stop_position/platform pair, which then could be used to tie
stop_position and platform together, but that is not how I interpret the
wiki.
I use one stop_area for a whole station.
