Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

The metro layer for London, UK, shows the actual stop point of the train as a hollow circle. However, as a human, to board the tube, I need to walk to one of the tube entrances rather than the stop point. The stop point (often under ground) can be far from the entrances.

The Transport for London documentation indicates which stations are accessible. However, it does not indicate which entrance or entrances are accessible. As a user with mobility requirements it is frustrating to have to try several entrances.

Some tube exits are "exit only". It's frustrating to walk to such a point, thinking that you can enter the tube d athere.

Describe the ideal solution
A clear and concise description of what you want to see in Organic Maps.

I would like to see the tube entrances highlighed on the metro view, perhaps even with very faint lines connecting the entrances to the tube stop/platform.

The data is already available in OSM relations. I would be happy to extract those and our organisation (OpenDevEd) would be committed to maintaining and updating these.

Describe alternatives you have considered

How do you solve this issue now with Organic Maps or other apps?
Attach any examples, screenshots, or screen recordings from other apps that help us to better understand the idea.

Other apps (based on osm or Google maps) don't support this.

We have considered developing our own app, but would much prefer to integrate with an existing app and an existing user base
