No - it really isn't.  That was my entire point.  I'm willing to bet a small round of beer in the pub up the road that almost no-one walking past that info board will say "oh look - that's a trailhead for the TPT".

I wouldn't agree here. Even if your pub patrons wouldn't call it a trailhead it is one. The TPT purposely makes  a detour to the South to meet Chesterfield station. (https://www.google.com/maps/d/embed?mid=1u1vrqls0lVh49X3ZpT7Bh2728Q8&ll=53.244018099803014%2C-1.4135915937870323&z=15 Isn't the trail mapped in OSM?) It might not have a big signpost "here be trails" but it meets the consensus definition of a trailhead, namely giving easy access to a trail. On top it even has an information board, parking, rail station, toilets in the station, pub up the road, ... It's quite a posh trailhead actually ( :-) to use some other participant's words here).

The position of the new board you mapped is not the trailhead, though. I'm with you that far.

The problem with trying to shoe-horn other features into a particular definition is that it dilutes the value of the features with that tag that have already been mapped - in this case trailheads where "everyone" will agree that they are trailheads.

+1

That's not to say that the features that you're trying to record aren't very important - I'm sure that they are, and it would make total sense for a Dutch-focused transport, cycling or wanderroute-oriented map to show them.
Absolutely.
