I don't think it's ok to map things without been personally there, unless you can use some satellite imagery. For example, in Madrid, some stations have several entrances (1, 2, 3, 4 or even more) and the station may be near one, or in the middle of them. I don't remember how are Barcelona's underground entrances, but I wouldn't map any without been there. Also, why are you using railway=halt? Many railway stations in Barcelona (I don't know if all of them) are railway=station. Which one is halt and which is a station should be decided in place. > > Also it seems that some metro tracks (routes) are included, but far away > from completion. > > So I wondered whether it would make sense to start adding the rough > metro routes to OSM, using http://www.tmb.net/img/genplano.pdf as > drawing source.

In this case, nothing is better than copied.
