thanks for spotting this. It used to be like this, here’s the “offending” edit:

I would not add tunnel=yes to a node (which is what entrances usually are), for the actual footway tunnel which connects the entrance with the station, you could add location=underground and tunnel=*
The station related information should go to the station, as long as the entrance is connected it would “work” for routing without additional tags.
