Description

Hey there,

I noticed that railway=platform from OpenStreetMap isn’t currently included in the Overture data. These are the train/tram/metro platforms, they are pretty important for things like public transport, routing, and even map visuals.

It would be great if those could be included in a future release. Here’s the OSM wiki page for reference:
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:railway%3Dplatform

Thanks for all the work you’re doing on this project!

No implementation files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by reading the railway=platform reference in the linked OpenStreetMap wiki page, then inspect the Overture schema to determine where these platforms belong; done means railway platforms are represented in a future release.
