in osm, platform is where people wait to take the train.
people always are "somewhere" before taking the train.
osm platform <> irl plateform
maybe a better value should be "embarkation point" but it's "too late" 
to change a so common value.

by geometry. if it's a way, it is a "real" plaform.
if not, it's unknown.
