Thanks for your work on this.

Question: any reason the https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/34891023 was 
not tagged with train=yes as per the linked wiki page?

Also, wheelchair=yes might be too broad and not specific enough to be 
actually helpful.

I would think that the alt_name=Sydney Terminal should only be on actual 
platform or buildings. Boundaries such like way/34891023 (above) are 
rather theoretical. I see it as a likely scenario  that the alt_name 
might be used by data consumers to perform routing.

It looks like some of the footpaths on the platforms need more work as 
iD is complaining about them crossing 'Station'.
