Yeah, agree. > Is there a marker I can put up to say where the trains actually stop > and that you need to move down the platform. > Ideally, there should a way per railway track, and a way per platform (you can map platforms as areas, but it seems to work better as linear ways). If there's a way that represents more than one track (eg two tracks running between island platforms, add tracks=2). Then, make a node on each track to represent where the trains stop. There can be more than one of these if there are a few stopping points (eg platform 1a, 1b). Tag this railway=stop. All of these stopping points, plus the platforms, plus the station building, should then all belong to the station's relation ( http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/relation/205097) - ideally add role=stop to the stop nodes.
