Why do journey planners sometimes suggest an unnecessary double-back when changing trains? This has happened to me twice recently: Waterloo Merseyside to Ormskirk - change at Moorfields rather than Sandhills, and Barrow in Furness to Skipton - change at Lancaster rather than Carnforth. One downside of this behaviour would be if the first train was delayed and an unfamiliar passenger stuck to their itinerary, possibly missing a connection that they could have otherwise made.
