Hi,</div><div><br></div><div style="font-style:normal;font-size:16px;background-color:transparent;font-family:HelveticaNeue,Helvetica Neue,Helvetica,Arial,Lucida Grande,sans-serif">Close to a main railway station, there are often other stations (underground, bus, tram, etc.) which have the same name (e.g. "Somewhere Station").</div>

I wonder what is the best value for the key 'name' of
these stations?</div><div style="font-style:normal;font-size:16px;background-color:transparent;font-family:HelveticaNeue,Helvetica Neue,Helvetica,Arial,Lucida Grande,sans-serif"><br></div><div style="font-style:normal;font-size:16px;background-color:transparent;font-family:HelveticaNeue,Helvetica Neue,Helvetica,Arial,Lucida Grande,sans-serif">
There are examples where the transport type is added in the name: e.g. "Gare de Lyon (métro 14)" in Paris [1], or "Hauptbahnhof (U-Bahn)" in Frankfurt [2].</div><div style="font-style:normal;font-size:16px;background-color:transparent;font-family:HelveticaNeue,Helvetica Neue,Helvetica,Arial,Lucida Grande,sans-serif">
<br></div><div style="font-style:normal;font-size:16px;background-color:transparent;font-family:HelveticaNeue,Helvetica Neue,Helvetica,Arial,Lucida Grande,sans-serif">Don't you think it
is better to tag all these stations with their real name ("Somewhere Station")? It isn't ambiguous since other tags than name allow to distinguish these stations [3]. And it gives to users/applications the real name, not a name "for renderer".</div>
