I think 'covered' is the wrong tag, in this context. According to the 
wiki, it doesn't simply mean something that has a roof (or canopy), it 
means something that is underneath something else.

 From my understanding of it, a more correct use of this in a railway 
context would be at somewhere like, say, St Pancras, where you would map 
the building as a whole and then map the platforms underneath the train 
shed as "covered". But I think it's complicated anyway, as even where 
there is a separate train shed, it doesn't usually cover the entire 
length of all of the platforms. (And I note that St Pancras doesn't 
actually have the platforms tagged as "covered", anyway).

I think removing it would be correct, too.
