  The URL Search Console is given. It must answer 200 with XML, so this file
  exists purely to hand Google the real URL list, which lives in sitemap-all.xml
  (660 service-in-a-city pages, the 44 city pages, the 15 service pages, the
  guides, the blog hubs, the four plain-markup index pages, contact, privacy).

  It is an index rather than a second copy of the URL list on purpose: a copy
  would have to be regenerated every time a page is added, and the moment it
  drifted it would submit stale pages and hide new ones. One <sitemap> entry
  here can never drift.

  A sitemap index may only list sitemaps hosted on the same site, so the live
  article feed on the backend host is not listed. Daily guides stay discoverable
  through /blog-articles.html, /blog and /blog/topics.
