This seems like normal PTv1 except you have routes in both ways, which 
very easily could be brought up to PTv2 standards:

If you would give the stop nodes the "platform" node instead of "stop" 
and public_transport=platform (and move all the stops to the top of the 
ways), you would confirm to PTv2 (off course you would also have to 
change the version from 1 to 2).

Note that nowhere in the PTv2 wiki it says it is mandatory to have both 
a stop and a platform! Either one is ok (although I strongly prefer to 
have both).
