使用する際の注意点

Generally the rail transport sense of "interchange" applies to connections within the same station, or from two close-by stations. Sometimes, especially within the context of public transport in London, "interchange" is restricted to within-station connections only with outerchange used for those that involve leaving the station.

反意語

• (antonym(s) of “rail transport”): outerchange (in some contexts only, see usage notes)
