<div dir="ltr"><div><div>I like the area approach. If you were on a platform, or in the station building, or on the tracks, each time you are in the railway station (or is it "on the station" when you are outside, and "in the station" when you are in the building?).<br>
<br></div>So if there is an app that tells you where you are at the moment, area would help the app be more precise. If there was a public transport routing app, it could determine which station you are on, and immediately show you departure and arrival times.<br>

<br>I was also inclined to add railway=station tag to a node rather than to an area. But some French mappers advocate for the 'area' solution, contrary to the former version of the wiki, and I've begun to hesitate between both the approaches.<br>
So I was hoping this debate could be settled, but currently this is clearly not the case... Doesn't this matter interest anybody else ? Or doesn't anybody else have an opinion about this question ?<div class="im">

<span>The role "label" could be interesting, but how can we use it ?</span></div><div style="font-style:normal;font-size:16px;background-color:transparent;font-family:HelveticaNeue,Helvetica Neue,Helvetica,Arial,Lucida Grande,sans-serif">
<span>Did you mean we could create a label relation [1] ? Or did you mean we should add a node with the role "label" to the stop_area relation which would be tagged railway=station (but the stop_area could also contain a bus station, a subway station, etc.) ?</span></div>

So I think it means you add the "public_transport=station" tag <span style="font-style:italic">to the same node/area</span> which was already tagged "railway=station" (as Roland did), doesn'it ?</div>
