Usage notes [edit]
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.
Antonyms [edit]
- (rail transport): outerchange (in some contexts only, see usage notes)
