<p style="font-stretch: normal; font-size: 14px; line-height: normal; font-family: Helvetica;">The conversations on the wiki discussion page seem to agree that stop_position is not needed where a defined platform exists.</p>

<p style="font-stretch: normal; font-size: 14px; line-height: normal; font-family: Helvetica;">I’m mapping railway and light-rail in a metropolitan area. Following the above wiki statement, I have removed stop positions where “defined platforms” are located. My goal is to follow the wiki, to…the…letter. Honestly, I don’t have a preference as to which manner railways are mapped.</p>

<p style="font-stretch: normal; font-size: 14px; line-height: normal; font-family: Helvetica;">Recently, another user has contacted me. This user is unhappy that the stop positions have been removed. I’ve explained that the wiki states, “…<span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none; color: rgb(26, 26, 26);">do not use <a href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:public_transport"><span style="font-kerning: none; color: #0a006d; background-color: #eae9ff; direction: ltr; unicode-bidi: embed">public_transport</span></a></span><span style="font-kerning: none; color: #1a1a1a; background-color: #eae9ff; direction: ltr; unicode-bidi: embed">=stop_position</span><span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none; color: rgb(26, 26, 26);"> to avoid duplication of information and confusion.”</span></p>
