No - it really isn't. That was my entire point. I'm willing to bet a
small round of beer in the pub up the road that almost no-one walking
past that info board will say "oh look - that's a trailhead for the TPT".
I wouldn't agree here. Even if your pub patrons wouldn't call it a
trailhead it is one. The TPT purposely makes a detour to the South to
meet Chesterfield station.

Isn't the trail mapped in OSM?) It might not have a big signpost "here
be trails" but it meets the consensus definition of a trailhead, namely
giving easy access to a trail. On top it even has an information board,
parking, rail station, toilets in the station, pub up the road, ... It's
quite a posh trailhead actually ( :-) to use some other participant's
words here).
The position of the new board you mapped is not the trailhead, though.
I'm with you that far.
The problem with trying to shoe-horn other features into a particular
definition is that it dilutes the value of the features with that tag
that have already been mapped - in this case trailheads where
"everyone" will agree that they are trailheads.
+1
That's not to say that the features that you're trying to record
aren't very important - I'm sure that they are, and it would make
total sense for a Dutch-focused transport, cycling or
wanderroute-oriented map to show them.
Absolutely.
