Interesting addition to Google, it seems to ignore mainline

Indeed, it doesn't have the data. But I find it particularly useful
for "get me home" type searches locally. The addition of rail data
would be a real advantage.

Have you tried Transport Direct ?
It has both bus and rail.

It's the South East JP that I usually use.

I just tested it for a Milton Keynes to Southwell (Notts) journey which
it didn't consider outside its area and which finishes (and can start)
with a bus.

It also works on the browser of a 3G Kindle.
