I'd look to ask some of the people involved in the Transilien project in France, perhaps Florian Lainez as he's an ex Mappa Mercian. Judging by taginfo <http://overpass-turbo.eu/s/qk0> they use railway=train_station_entrance (so much for British english in tags), probably in conjunction with entrance=*.
SNCF even have an internal app called mapmygare for adding station details: there is some hope that they may open-source it. A couple of other points about station entrances: - (Obvious) accessibility info is useful - ticket barriers (presence or not) where these are close to or part of the entrance - opening hours for side entrances (& possibly for ticket barriers too, suburban stations often leave them open after staff have finished work) - presence of an intercom (e.g., on E-side of Horsham station) to get someone to let you through the barrier - public rights of way through stations (i.e., notional places on stations where you don't need a ticket). Paul Sladen defended the one <http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/165120168> at Nottingham station. Here I think 'duck' tagging is the way to proceed, so entrances from the street should be tagged not tops of stairs from the PRoW. Please also count steps on bridges/subways etc: typically they are 10, 12 or 16 treads to a flight. From personal experience the length a flight is as important as the total number of steps: one can take a breather at the end of each flight. So 24 steps in one run are a completely different matter from 2 flights of 12.
