Which is why OSM has route relations. Michael's wanting to add services
& timetables to route relations. The data is too transient & time
consuming to maintain for OSM. Sort the basics out. Learn to walk before
running.

Without route relations, OSM shows where you can get on the

What's wrong with consulting a timetable?
Maps show you where you can go, timetables tell you when .

at stations which only have a few dozen passengers in a day.
Other European countries are doing it much better. The routes are
numbered. There are designated express services with stops only
in big cities. The rural stations have only local stopping
services which call at every stop en-route.
We don't even have a useful route map from train companies that
can work out which train I should take without consulting the
timetable.
