<div>This had me straight off to look at the channel tunnel, which is tagged as a railway. Fair enough but no router is going to send cars that way. Should I add highway=service to the same way and connect it to the road network, or add a separate way or find another way to convey that the trains carry cars? I'd welcome your suggestions.</div>
