Nope You can't have a mid terminal, by definition. And as "terminal"
is used with similar semantics to "station" here, if you start with
aerialway:station you don't need to include "terminal" or "station" in
the value as well.
That web page doesn't refer at all to the "top station" or the "bo

Hi Garry, thanks for your reply. I am pleased to hear that the "related

Great idea. Not sure about using "3rd" and "4th" though - it's a bit
tightly coupled to the English language and possibly prone to error.
Wouldn't "3rail" and "4rail" fit the bill?

making that explicitly "3rd rail" and introduc
