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.
I think 'covered' is the wrong tag, in this context. According to the
wiki, it doesn't simply mean something that has a roof (or canopy), it
means something that is underneath something else.
From my understanding of it, a more correct use of this in a railway
context would be at somewhere like, say, St Pancras, where you would map
the building as a whole and then map the platforms underneath the train
shed as "covered". But I think it's complicated anyway, as even where
there is a separate train shed, it doesn't usually cover the entire
length of all of the platforms. (And I note that St Pancras doesn't
actually have the platforms tagged as "covered", anyway).
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.
I think removing it would be correct, too.
