The Elizabeth Line 'Central Operating Section' (ie. the tunnels under London) has several stations along it.
Some of these preexisted the new route and were expanded to include the Elizabeth Line, other stations were newer (or new to the National Rail network, at least)
For example: Farringdon, Paddington and Liverpool Street, with the routeing point as London Group.
In contrast: Bond Street, Custom House and Canary Wharf are not included in the 'pink pages'.
The COS is also conspicuously missing from the mapped routes (or at least, I can't find it).
This appears to be an omission. Given the entire Elizabeth Line is a National Rail service, the stations along it and the route should likely be included in the Routeing Guide - just like London Overground stations.
I'm not sure how journey planners are handling it right now, but I presume they're treating all the EL COS stations as members of London Group?
This does create some ambiguity, as to how you're supposed to route that way.
