On the other hand: I noticed that bus routes have been added (and this is certainly not being done by walking from bus stop to bus stop). And there is existing data on train routes in some places (again: walking on the tracks is not the approach to data capture). Surely, the issue is whether the route is freely available (and it is, on the website). The maps, with the route overlayed, are there to use!

"Possibly, the route could be added to the map data so it would show up on the walking map."
Only if the route is signed though :-) Don't know if that's the case here.

No, indeed, the route is not signed. So that's a future project, I guess.
