Interesting addition to Google, it seems to ignore mainline railways. It
gave me a route from Bognor Regis to London completely by local buses.

Yes, it just tried to send me from Bourne to Nottingham without any rail
at all. All bus. I'd go to Stamford or Sleaford and then by train given
half a chance.

This'll be about data - bus and TfL (Tube etc) timetables are freely made
available as open data, whilst the TOCs aren't willing to share.
