I too am not aware of 'platform edge'.

Of what use is it, other than making more work/adding data bloat?

Not used by route relation for public transport.

Rendered?

Used by on the fly routers?

I prefer to split the platform so it is clear which side is what, so I am for A.

But am not worried by it.

I wasn't aware of platform_edge
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:railway%3Dplatform_edge but in
light of the detailed wiki write-up of it, I think it's better if we
migrate to B. So map the whole platform area, but then add linear ways
for platform_edge along the sides.

I'm interested in the preferred way of creating a sandwich railway platform
where
a) there are railway lines on both sides and
b) trains stop to pick up passengers on both sides and
c) there are few physical barriers between both platforms and
d) there is sufficient aerial imagery to allow detailed platform layout

Is it better to
a) split the platform in the middle or
b) add platform_edge and include platform number as the reference or
c) no need to do anything, the reference="platform 8/9" on the platform
polygon suffices and platform_edge is overkill.

Thanks in anticipation
