I think Carto & anyone who added it to underground metro
stations have misinterpreted the 'covered' tag.<br>
<br>
As it's not the whole length of the platform, you could add a
building=roof polygon. <br>
<br>
Shelters, bins, benches etc are better mapped as individual nodes at
their locations, rather than adding them as sub-tags to the
platform.<br>

<p>Recently changed Chorley station adding more details. Added
covered=yes cos there is a canopy for us to huddle under but not
the whole length of the platform, there are also bus shelter
type of shelters so shelter=yes was also added.</p>
<p>Checked that my changes had rendered ok but found to my horror
that the platforms had disappeared. Investigations showed - <br>

Have changed Chorley to delete covered tag - expect the render to
show as expected for the surface.<br>
A quick overpass (inexpertly done) shows the following railway
stations may be affected adversely - <br>
Holyhead<br>
Manchester Airport<br>
Salford Quays - Anchorage<br>
Manchester Piccadilly<br>
Harrogate<br>
Hull<br>
Sleaford<br>
Bury St Edmunds<br>
Guildford<br>
Bracknell<br>
Westbury<br>
and many in London and there are others<br>
<br>
I know we shouldn't map to the render but the meaning of covered
seems to vary globally. I know that<br>
Manchester Airport<br>
Salford Quays - Anchorage<br>
Manchester Piccadilly<br>
Harrogate<br>
Guildford<br>
Bracknell<br>
Westbury<br>
are all similar to Chorley - I've visited or passed through them;
Manchester Piccadilly I know well and the solitary (covered=yes)
platform 12 is the same as the other 11 platforms - mostly under
the glass train shed. <br>
In my mind accurate representation of platform location is so
important when travelling.<br>
<br>
At the end of this week (2nd June) I intend to change the
platforms I know to remove covered=yes, if you disagree please
challenge.<br>
<br>
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?<br>
