Guys
Recently changed Chorley station adding more details. Added covered=yes
cos there is a canopy for us to huddle under but not the whole length of
the platform, there are also bus shelter type of shelters so shelter=yes
was also added.
Checked that my changes had rendered ok but found to my horror that the
platforms had disappeared. Investigations showed -

* Hiding railway=platform with location=underground, tunnels and
covered=yes
Have changed Chorley to delete covered tag - expect the render to show
as expected for the surface.
A quick overpass (inexpertly done) shows the following railway stations
may be affected adversely -
Holyhead
Manchester Airport
Salford Quays - Anchorage
Manchester Piccadilly
Harrogate
Hull
Sleaford
Bury St Edmunds
Guildford
Bracknell
Westbury
and many in London and there are others
I know we shouldn't map to the render but the meaning of covered seems
to vary globally. I know that
Manchester Airport
Salford Quays - Anchorage
Manchester Piccadilly
Harrogate
Guildford
Bracknell
Westbury
are all similar to Chorley - I've visited or passed through them;
Manchester Piccadilly I know well and the solitary (covered=yes)
platform 12 is the same as the other 11 platforms - mostly under the
glass train shed.
In my mind accurate representation of platform location is so important
when travelling.
At the end of this week (2nd June) I intend to change the platforms I
know to remove covered=yes, if you disagree please challenge.
Looking at Manchester Piccadilly I can see that there are many
opportunities to improve the data and thus the representation, anyone
fancy a mapping party there?
