I think that could depend on the service. There are cases where the full route is included, such as the 156 and 157 (which are produced by both Merseytravel and TfGM). But look at the 375/385 - TfGM has switched back to using/supplying the Arriva leaflet, but when they produced their own, the full route to Southport was included in the guide. Merseytravel has something that is more like an inset and is a complete waste of time.

However there are cases where TfGM lets the side down. On one hand, the Transpeak guide has a map with the full route all the way down to Derby! Yet on the other hand, the 589/590 stops at Summit with an arrow pointing up.
