Thanks for your thoughts Martin, very much appreciated. I think the biggest confusion for me is that in Sydney we have heavy rail which is underground (it's not a metro, aka subway), but soon a mass rapid transit train (metro aka. subway) which is above ground.
So we'll be tagging railway=subway_entrance (the accepted tag for metro entrances) on entrances that don't lead underground, and we'll be tagging regular train station entrances on entrances which do lead underground.

It is explicitly for subways. If this is the consensus then we should change the wiki as it currently says "A subway entrance is a place where people enter or exit a train station", it should be enter or exit a subway (mass rapid transit train) station. > Is there a tag for heavy rail above ground station entrances?
