Dodgy station information

http://journeyplanner.tfl.gov.uk/user/XSLT_SOI_REQUEST?language=en&type=stop&id=1000015&itdLPxx_sessionID=JP12_4010709175&itdLPxx_requestID=1&command=nop

This information, provided by TfL is badly wrong. It says Barking is served by the Circle line! I put this to TfL and the reply came back:

"the Circle line designation for Barking is actually technically correct. While it's clear that the Circle line doesn't run to Barking, it should be noted that some of the Hammersmith & City line trains run as Circle line trains very late at night. This is to get trains to the right locations for the first services back the following morning."

Hmm!


"However, I appreciate that some of the information on the station information pages is not clear or not correct. Generally, we are soon to look at the station information provided for every station on the network and will review the information that is currently provided. It should be noted, however, that Barking is run by C2C, rather than LU, so we will have to obtain the station information from them. This may make it slightly harder to update with accurate information as we'll have to rely on the details they supply us."

In fact, sensibly, c2c no longer supply separate information, but just link to that provided by National Rail: http://www.nationalrail.co.uk/stations/BKG.html#Station_Facilities.

The TfL information completely fails to mention that the station is run by National Rail, despite the claim that the information is obtained fron c2c.
