Hi
Whilst tidying up UK railway stations so buildings were tagged as
'train_station', I've come across some points which I don't understand.
Could someone help clarify?
* Is station=subway used to indicate a station that's part of a
specific network or if it's physically subterranean? There are
currently many tagged as such which are in the open air:
http://overpass-turbo.eu/s/zjc. The wiki doesn't help much: "subway
is used to describe a subway station".
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:station%3Dsubway
* Why is railway=halt a main tag instead of 'railway=station,
station=halt'. To me a halt is a subtype of station, similar to
'station=subway'.
* Stop Area relations - What are they for? What benefit is there in
having what appears to be quite random items (bike parking, cafes
etc) in a relation
<https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/4713070#map=17/51.26848/-1.08883>?
I thought creating relations as a 'collection of things' was
discouraged. This one even includes telephones!

* Is there only one naptan:AtcoCode per station & should be added to
the item with the 'railway=station' tag or are there individual ones
for each stop point? The wiki, again, isn't clear.
Cheers
