Hey Andrew,
Your question would have been better asked at talk-tran...@osm.org

generally it is better to have only _one_ station where there is only
one station. Currently there are discussions on talk-de

The many hybrid systems (operating as tramways with shared right of way and
street level stops in inner cities and with dedicated infrastructure and
exclusive right of way - I mentioned some examples in another response)
don't make the situation any clearer. I am inclined to not expand the

No they're not. Put light rail vehicles on what had been a tram line and

Steve,
I think you may have something there. I also believe there is room for a
separate definition for something between a streetside tram halt and a
full-fledged train station as part of a traditional heavy rail system.

Richard,
Why 'should' they be a tram stop? Is that a convention I don't know about? I
can't derive it from the descriptions in the wiki.
The local situation here in Salt Lake is actually a little more complicated.
TRAX is definitely a light rail system (With Siemens SD-100 and Avanto sets)
but fo
Trams and street-running light rail should have railway=tram_stop. Put
in a sub-tag if you want to distinguish different types.
If your light-rail system runs onto heavy rail (eg famously in
Karlsruhe), and shares stations with heavy rail passenger services,
then use railway=station on the clearly

Sounds like a third option is required. Here (Melbourne, Australia)
tram stops vary from just a sign on a telephone pole to "super stops"
