Workington North

Posted by JeffB on 27 November 2009 in English.

My compliments to user:sladen, who has drawn the new temporary Workington North railway station. After reading the Wikipedia article my first instinct was to fire up OSM and mark the thing myself, but sladen has already drawn it in great detail (osm.org/go/evNv0Jss ). Isn't OSM great?

Check your URL - you put an extraneous parenthesis at the end.

I wonder about how to model a station. The simplest way is of course a single node along the way. But is it advisable to model the station as an area ?

@Jean-Marc: I copied and pasted the URL correctly. It was the OSM software that turned it into a hyperlink and decided to include the closing parenthesis (but not the opening one). Perhaps if I put spaces at either end of the URL it will work. Here goes: ( osm.org/go/evNv0Jss )

Yes, that worked. Thanks for pointing it out. :-)

@Jean-Marc: The wiki at osm.wiki/Railway_stations says to use just a node, with extra markings for platforms. But I don't see why you can't add an area on top of that to show the outline of the building(s).
