Small update of the spec for joining or splitting trips

openplannerteam/planner.js#18

Not yet in a public knowledge graph, yet know that the spec slightly updated to be able to support this use case!

@pietervdvn Has this been taken into account? Can we close this or not?

[pietercolpaert]

No test data available yet for this

No, I haven't taken this into account, because I'm not convinced of the spec.

If two Desiro-Trains are linked together, it is not possible to walk from the front to the end - see picture. So, consider the following situation:

• Train A departs in ADep
• Train B departs in BDep
• They merge in some location
• They split in some later location
• Train A continues till AArr
• Train B continues till BArr

A traveller which goes from ADep till BArr will have to leave the train at some location to mount the other train. In other words, I'd model these trains as two completely seperate trips, which coincidentally are on the same places at the same times for a part of the track.

Please suggest in the spec how you would model this then. Also, in cases where they are actually merged it appears you do agree with the spec.
