For general interest, Victoria Underground station was done a while back, probably as a test. You can see it on OSM and, if you are using JOSM, you can look at each layer and see what is where and how it has been “built".

"internal layout of the public areas of our stations" sounds interesting. They'll be some spectacular new underground mapping to do for cross rail next year some time hey? It's difficult to map on a casual contributing basis. I tried adding details of the new London Bridge lower level atrium, but it involved a fair bit of positional guesswork. We've had a few people interested in mapping more details of this kind of thing over the years. There was a small discussion on this London mailing list (which is rare) back in 2016 when Bjoern Hassler was getting interested in fixing tube station entrances data for example: https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk-gb-london/2016-July/000093.html Great to see METZ helping out with this. I see they employ lots of OSMers! This is reassuring. I imagine they know what they're doing! But if you need any help while part way through the process (e.g. after doing one station), let us know. We've got a presentations evening/ questions event on 7th March OpenStreetMap Q&A London: https://www.meetup.com/OpenStreetMap-Q-A-Meetup/events/241310674/ If you fancy meeting some us face to face, it would fantastic to have you along at this!

I manage TfL’s open data products and wanted to let you all know about an exciting project (hopefully the first of many) we’re about to start work on using OpenStreetMap. We really appreciate the impressive level of detail about our network (bus stops, bus services, tube entrances and railway infrastructure) that the OSM community have already added to OpenStreetMap. To supplement this and aligned with our open data strategy, we would like to add maps of the internal layout of the public areas of our stations. We have therefore commissioned our supplier, MENTZ (https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/MENTZ_GmbH), to add this publicly observable data to OSM and give the OSM community and users access to it. MENTZ will start to add the data for roughly 30 major stations in London over the next few weeks. We will be quality checking data while MENTZ are adding it to OSM so you may notice us making edits. We are planning to use this data for an internal project initially but we may, in future, decide to use it in our customer products. Once we have completed our quality checks and all the data is added to OSM, we will post to let you know that the work is completed. We will also be promoting the data in OSM to our open data users and key partners. -The mapping scheme will build on https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/London_public_transport_tagging_scheme -We will add the following extra features not yet covered: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/London_public_transport_tagging_scheme/TfL_Barrier-Free -This scheme is strictly derived from https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Simple_Indoor_Tagging to be as compatible as possible. The scheme is already in widespread use in France and Germany. Please let us know if you have any questions or comments about this project. We really value your feedback and support.
