Smart Turns – new on cycle.travel's route-planner
I'm planning a trip to England and I'm limited on my days there so I would like to optimize my time. It doesn't make sense for me to ride from one area to another (Cotswolds to Lancaster for Way of the Roses for example) if I just want to do those two areas. It would be helpful to toggle a train station view to help with planning to that I can hop on a train if I need to. Not sure if that's possible, but it would be great. Thank you.

Xavi, I don't quite understand what a "train station view" is to toggle in and out of. Train stations are pretty well marked on the maps (at an appropriate zoom level) and different maps will display them more clearly than others. (An advantage of being a supporter is that I get access to more maps).
However, the main reason that I replied is to encourage you to to investigate the train options in more depth. I'm not a UK resident but I believe that transporting a touring bike on a train in the UK, especially over long distances, is not always straightforward having to deal with multiple train operators. Hoping to "hop on" a train may well be more difficult than you think.
https://www.seat61.com/ may help as will some of the UK cycling fora. CycleChat is friendly and there is a UK cycling forum too. And there are always some maps!

I guess the feature request would be to add either the transport map or the ÖPNVKarte map as possible layers. Those are focused around public transport and clearly show railway routes.
