Okay, so I've just added two new relations for Waterloo (so now it has 5):

* railway station = http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/relation/238792
* tube station = http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/relation/238793

I had to add stop nodes for the tube lines (didn't seem to be any existing
ones).  They are all tagged as role=stop on the relation. I'm not sure what
tag we should be using on the nodes themselves. Sometimes we've used
railway=station (which means they all display on the renderers), sometimes
we've used railway=halt (as was originally proposed in
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/unified_stoparea, but I
think this is wrong as railway=halt has historically been used for request
stops). I've experimentally used railway=stop for Waterloo - these could be
a good way of distinguishing stopping points from the 'station' nodes that
are used in the simpler schema).

Guess we also need to add the platforms for Waterloo (Wikipedia says there
are 20), as well as some of the accesses (footbridges, etc).
