Hey Andrew, Your question would have been better asked at talk-tran...@osm.org (mailing-list for public transport)

I'm sure the wiki or someone more experienced with buildings > will point you in the right direction here. add a higher layer tag than the tracks to the building (e.g. layer=1 if no layer tag is used so far) you can add nodes on the intersections between building and tracks and split the tracks to add covered=yes to the parts inside the building. >> The reason for asking is that I'd like to show all station buildings >> on this line like this.

There is also the possibility to use a relation (public_transport=stop_area) https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:public_transport=stop_area > For the correct tagging of the station, platforms, stops, etc. have a look at > https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Public_transport and follow the Railway > link. +10 Have fun fly _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
