Thank you Andrew and Warin, There are 1734 platform_edge elements, mainly in Germany and surrounding countries as well as in London and 3 in South Korea. I see this probably being a better solution for underground or complex interchanges where platforms are not visible however I do think this is overkill and are 1700+ elements going to become standard in all the rendering engines as Warin commented/
The backstory is that most Melbourne stations with a sandwich platform have been commented on that they need to be split and this appears to be a rather tedious process that has little reward to very few. I want to make sure that we are future proofing this and the best way to proceed.
