+1. I didn't want to open a discussion how to distinguish railway=subway from railway=rail, which are both well established and usually legally well defined tags (@Frederik: in Germany subways (U-Bahn) are legally indeed trams which must never cross streets at the same level). The proposal was to tag the points/areas of the stations with different tags, according to the kind of rail system it is on. cheers, Martin _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
