Hi all,
I've got the following question for clarification. Suppose you have a r
elation: osm:relation:route
<https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/relation:route> (type=route,
route=train/...), with nodes as stops.
(1) The wiki says that the node in this relation ("as stop") representing a
stop would be tagged as osm:tag:railway=stop
<https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:railway%3Dstop> /
osm:tag:public_transport=stop_position
<https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:public_transport%3Dstop_position>.
So far so good.
(2) The wiki also says that alternatively, the node ("as stop") could be a
station (railway=station).
I assume that option (2) would be mainly for very small stations or
stations that have not been mapped? For larger stations, the station and
the stop position would be separate, and one would include the stop node
(1) in the relation, while the station is separate?
The background to the question is that on the London underground, many
stops (i.e. nodes in route relations wth role "stop") are tagged as
station, see http://overpass-turbo.eu/s/oXF. Sometimes there are two
station tags as well (marking the stop for either direction).
Do you agree that (e.g. where station buildings etc have been mapped), the
stop position should be tagged as (1), while the node tagged
railway=station should be merged into the relation for the station or stop
area?
Many thanks,
Bjoern
