Stop positions can have a tag ref=* or local_ref=* giving the track number which is signed on the platform. The platform has ref=*, too. The ref tag of the platform often contains multiple numbers because many platforms have to edges, i.e. ref=2;3 or even worse: ref=2a;2b;2;3a;3b;3 (if the track can be occupied by two trains behind each other at the same time – very common at busy stations). If you don't want to parse ref=*/local_ref=* and route relations are properly mapped, you can check which route relations reference a platform. If a route relation contains both platforms and stop positions, the next member of a relation after a stop position node is should be the platform. I think that both variants provide better results than simple snapping on the next edge in your pedestrian routing graph (if platforms are in your routing graph). There are cases in reality where a railway track has platforms on both sides but you can or must leave the train only to one direction. > PS I've noticed that sometimes the stop position is at the far end of a > platform (i.e. the two stop positions are at opposite ends of the station). > Maybe that's so that an association can be made? From my point of view this is wrong mapping. (In Germany mainly done by user rayquaza) To give a correct answer, you should give some examples (node IDs).
