Simutrans 112.2 r6390, pak128 2.3.0 on Ubuntu 13.04 64-bit.
As of this release I cannot build any underground train stations.
All passenger platforms result in an error "cannot built this station/building in underground mode here". Freight platforms work fine.
These platforms worked fine in previous releases.
Is there any new trick I'm missing?
Thank you.
Hard to say. Any screenshot would be useful.
Actually with some more searching it seems it currently doesn't work:

I'll try the metro addon.

Goods/freight stations seem to build fine. I don't know if they work, but they build without that error.
There was a change, possibly in 112.2 or very few versions earlier, that allowed pak sets to define which buildings could be built underground, above ground, or both. The default value for pak sets built with new makeobj is both, while for pak sets built with older makeobj, it is both for buildings classified as generic_stop and only above ground for everything else. If newer versions of pak128 fail, then platforms must have been explicitly forbidden underground. An older version of the pak set should still work, or there is a bug in Simutrans.

Thanks for the clarification - as the thread I linked to indicates, there are no defined underground stations yet for pak128. So 112.2 introduced the code to define underground stations yet pak128 includes no underground stations.
No big deal, I'll try the metro addon and I'm looking forward to proper underground stations in pak128 in the future.
Thanks for the responses everybody!
