Various comments on these:
1. Reading. If Heathrow Rail-air is shown, shouldn't the Reading end be shown?
2. St. Pancras is indeed two stations. Midland Main Line services depart from
platforms at
the far-end of the main train shed, has separate ticketing etc.. The
'interchange' between this
and the Underground is quite a decent walk, although nothing like as bad as it
was before
the International station opened. There is a set of platforms under the
main-line station
(used to be Thameslink), but as I've never used them don't know their status,
other than
for the traveller they're quite distinct.
3. I thought the extra Kings-X might be the local line to Royston and
Cambridge, which
used to be pretty disjunct from the rest of Kings-X, but on the map it looks
like the
underground station has been rewarded with the old British Rail symbol to
signify
an interchange, but this isn't true of some of the dubious interchange stations
(e.g., Euston Square).
4. I think RailAir is a typical exception which one has to live with. There are
plenty of railways where
some services are operated by buses which depart from a separate location.
However, ticketing etc is
entirely in the hands of the railway operator. For instance the line to
Skegness has Mablethorpe on the
timetable described as a rail-replacement bus (although I think the railway
line has been disused for
40-odd years).
Hope this adds grist to the mill!
