Looking for some advice in Bletchley, specifically, but to answer a
more general point about footpaths.

So what is the guidance here? Ought the road have a distinct footpath
both sides? Or not footpath, and use the tags on the road, or just
connecting spurs from the footpath to the road at key points (e.g.
opposite Selwyn Grove), or what…?
I think mapping the path explicitly is perfectly reasonable if it is
(for at least some of its length) separated from the road by a
non-trivial distance (say more than a couple of feet of grass).
I'd agree with that - and where that isn't the case I'd definitely use
sidewalk=left/right/both to indicate that the road has a sidewalk.
Also, it can be difficult to work out exactly what's going on if you
haven't actually been there, so I'd be reluctant to change mapping from
sidewalk=blah to a separate footway without a survey (unless its really
obviously wrong - e.g. no connections at all between footpaths and
roads). That's not a problem here I'm sure as I suspect Traveline folks
will all have a very good mental picture of all station surrounds on
their patch!
Usage of adjacent seems to be fairly localised in the UK:
