The terminal a given service uses is shown on the route page for that journey and again on the ticket, because a city with several is a city where the wrong one costs an hour.

Where these numbers come from

Schedules, seat counts and fares are generated by our own model until the supplier contracts are signed. Places, coordinates, operators, which operator serves which pair, and every distance are real. We would rather say that on every page than let a modelled number pass for a filed one.
