Well the intention is obvious... They were intending to change 
direction:south to direction_south. It looks like an autocomplete error, 
which is strange as they were using Level0, but perhaps they were 
copying and pasting from another app or from the wiki or something.

Note also (by the way) the apparent mis-spelling of Brentford (missing 
't') in one instance.
