I've seen some reports of a block_id on trips with different route_type. This is probably a mistake because blocks are meant to represent trips taken by the same physical vehicle, though maybe a light rail can become a subway when it goes underground.

I've heard from people in Tokyo that they have inner-city subway lines that continue as heavy rail out into the country, yet calling them heavy rail within the city would not match passengers' expectations.

We should still have a warning, or even an error (I vote for error) when having block transfers between completely incompatible vehicle types.
