Here in Stockholm, trains seem to line up one end of the train with one
end of the platform. Usually, that's the end where the entrance is, but
sometimes there are entrances at both ends, so if you arrive just in
time at an unfamiliar station and find that it's a short train, you may
be in for a run... (BTDT, with a day hike rucksack...)

Why is the front of the vehicle (bus, train, ferry.. and possibly
others) mapped?
Would it not be better to map the thing most usefull to most people?
That would be where passengers get on/off, on multiple exit vehicles
like train then the average of these positions could be used.
Trains here of varying lengths tend to place the middle of the train
at the middle of the platform - thus it is consistent for any train
length. The only exceptions are where the platform is shorter than the
train so the train stops such that the designated car/carriage is
centered on the platform - thus it is still a consistent location for
OSM.
