Personally I think that Reading is cheating. The outline that is called the railway station “building” includes the ticket halls, the bridge, and the platform surfaces to the extent that these stick out of the bridge area. I don’t agree with this - the last time I looked, a platform wasn’t a building; it is a platform. I would expect this to be a site relation - and in fact, Euston appears to be mapped that way, so it doesn’t look like I’m a million miles out with that thought.
Next, the individual “platforms" have been mapped as edges alongside the satellite-visible parts of the platform areas. The platforms in OSM don’t extend under the footbridge - when in reality they do. Again, at Euston the platforms are areas (split in half to allow tagging of each platform number). Yes the bridge at Reading is marked as a bridge, which it allows it to go over the tracks. But it really is a bridge at Reading. At Gatwick it is a whole building over the tracks. So, to me, Reading looks like it has been mapped for the renderer, rather than representing what is physically on the ground.

When this was first mapped, what is actually three buildings (the railway station, the covered travelators from the bus station & car parks, and the southern stairs from the railway platforms) were all mapped as one building, and the platforms were “inserts” into the gaps rather than being the continuous entities that they are. So I have separated those all out, and made the platforms a continuous block. I also added internal escalators and travelators, although that is immaterial to the question that I’m about to ask. The buildings are all mapped as layer=1, and the platforms without any layer tag (which should default them to layer=0, AFAIK). So why are the platforms and rail tracks (which I haven’t touched) been rendered over the buildings, rather than under them?
