It is also an increased detail thing. > I had a discussion about island platforms on the wiki a while back (see http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Talk:Proposed_features/unified_stoparea#Sheffield). When I mapped Sheffield Station ( http://www.openstreetmap.org/?relation=79249) I noted that some platforms have up to 6 different names (2A, 2B, 3, 4, 5A, 5B). The options as I see it are: * stick all the names in a single ref= tag, semi-colon or comma separated (the former seems to be the convention?) * add the names to the stopping points (the node on the actual railway way). * splitting the platform way into different ways (eg two halves) and then tagging those separately (although this still leaves you the problem of different names for the different 'edges'). * doing something complicated with relations.
