What's wrong with expecting the official one-stop-shop journey planner to
give me the right answer?

The National Rail Enquiries journey planner mostly works fine for rail
journies through London requiring a tube connection between two national
rail stations. It rarely gives the easiest (or even a sensible) route if you
specify a national rail destination in London for which the best option is a
rail journey to another rail station followed by the tube. I have no idea if
this is a fault or by design (assuming that if you specify a national rail
destination you want to arrive at it by national rail). I have never
expected to use it in the way you describe any more than I would expect it
to tell me the correct use of a bus in some other city when completing a
journey by national rail is possible but not a sensible option.
