Depends on which version you'd like to believe. The original proposal 
for public_transport=platform 
(https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/index.php?oldid=625726#Platform) said:

"The name by which the platform is known."

someone has later decided to change this. Which one is "correct"? When 
using PTv2 I stick to just the original proposal description as the 
various "translations" has made it harder and harder to understand (in 
other words the platform name is fine).

However, I'd split them into single platforms, there's no need to 
combine them.

Central is the short name, Central Station is the full name.
