<div dir="auto">Possibly of interest, Andy Townsend's useful map seems to ignore the name and render the ref as, for example, 'Platform 1'. My (perhaps wrong) understanding is that map was forked from carto, so maybe the relevant code is written and a pull request wouldn't be so difficult. It seemed from the ticket that was the only stumbling block.<div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Tom</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Mon, 29 Aug 2022, 09:27 Andrew Hain, <<a href="mailto:andrewhainosm@hotmail.co.uk">andrewhainosm@hotmail.co.uk</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">

One answer for that would be to only have ref and to omit name as tagging for the renderer.</div>

<div dir="auto">I'm not sure if you're aware but osmand can already render ref (at least the default public transport style does). If there's only a ref, that renders, e.g. '1'. If there's a name and ref both render, e.g. '1 (1)'. If there's a ref for the platform
and a name for the stop area they render, e.g. 'Shipley (1)'. If there's a name for both stop area and platform only the name of the platform renders (and ref), e.g. '1 (1)' in Paddington.

<div dir="auto">I appreciate wanting to get platform numbers rendering on carto (and others) but it doesn't seem great to mess up the rendering on osmand -- even if you don't like their style they've obviously thought about it. We could ask osmand to deduplicate
ref and name (which would probably be a good idea in other areas too) but that's asking them to do the legwork to compensate for others.</div>

<div dir="auto">More generally I agree with reducing what is stored to remove station name and 'Platform'.</div>
