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...
A good reason to map that end in OSM.
So 'local variations' maybe needed.
(BTDT, with a day hike rucksack...)
A day hike is not much of a load.
An overnight hike is a little more, 7 days more still. 10 days is my
limit... too heavy after that.

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.
