* Hiding railway=platform with location=underground, tunnels and
covered=yes
Personally I think that's an error on their part (although it's their*
style not mine etc. etc.). The relevant issue is
https://github.com/gravitystorm/openstreetmap-carto/pull/3162 and no one
said "it's a silly idea" so it's difficult to criticise the person who's
idea it was going forward on that basis.
Have changed Chorley to delete covered tag - expect the render to show
as expected for the surface.
If it was me I wouldn't change the tagging just to match one particular
renderer - someone might come along and do something useful with the tag
later, but they can only do that if the data's there. Personally I've
tended to do partially-covered station platforms as "building=roof" (if
I've even remembered to do that) but I might be in a minority of 1 there.
In the meantime I'm sure that there are lots of maps that show covered
railway platforms - I know that
https://map.atownsend.org.uk/maps/map/map.html#zoom=18&lat=53.653154&lon=-2.626704
does.
Looking at Manchester Piccadilly I can see that there are many
opportunities to improve the data and thus the representation, anyone
fancy a mapping party there?
I'm sure that you'd get a few takers for that - might be worth trying to
contact the group that organised the "Joy Diversion" the other week and
see if you can invite attendees to that along.
Best Regards,
Andy
