London's mainline railway termini

Trains stop at these stations and the journey carries on by tube, bus or foot, so the useful facts are the ones about what happens after the barrier: whether Underground platforms sit in the same building, and whether the ticket in your hand is actually valid to that particular terminus. The phrase "London Terminals" hides a real trap, since it only works on a reasonable line of route from where you boarded, which is why a Cambridge ticket gets you to Liverpool Street but not Paddington. Where the mapped point sits somewhere other than the mainline concourse, a bus stop, a pub, a district centroid, the entry says so.
