Leaving out the Moorgate to FP section of GN - even if they don't include
the rest - is just cretinous and a disservice to passengers.


I'm not sure why it's worse than leaving out the Waterloo-Wimbledon
(etc) National Rail routes.


Another factor is that the GN&C south of Krapy Rubsnif has a metro-style
service where every train calls at every station. People trying to use
NR from Waterloo to Clapham Junction might end up accidentally boarding
a train that doesn't stop until Yeovil or somewhere like that.

Getting on the wrong train at Waterloo would usually involve ignoring
the indicator not listing Clapham Junction and getting on one of the
trains which is both not shown as stopping there and which does not
stop there.
