[talk-au] tagging old railway stations - what is the agreed approach

[Ewen Hill]

Thanks Warin,
   I have been using a node or polygon for the railway station as follows
however it is raising a level 2 error in osmose...

name=xxx
historic:railway = station (or station_site)

If the building can be traced, I would also add a polygon
building=train_station

There appears to be a lot of confusion (see
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Railway_stations#Stations_and_sites_which_are_not_currently_in_operation
)
over

   - historic:railway=station
   - railway:historic=station
   - disused=yes
   - not tagging it at all with any railway tags

I want to keep the information from appearing in current travel options but
available to explain how the township formed around a particular location
