1....Ipswich Buses (where I live) are good on this.<br /><br />1. Proper timetables and a route map are easily available on the website. They are also easily available in their town centre enquiry office and Tourist Information office. (The latter also has timetables of other operators).<br /><br />2. All stops have information provided by Suffolkonboard. They do not have full timetables, but departure lists of all services (IB, First, independents) together with a schematic map of each route and approximate times to each timing point. As the town is small and most folk know where they're going this is possibly better than lots of full timetables which can be confusing to the non-cognoscenti.<br /><br />3. Some "real time" indicators are appearing in the town centre but I don't think they are fantastic! IB do provide up to date Twitter and Facebook information on late running and cancellations during weekday office hours and Saturday mornings.<br /><br />But, then, both the late MD of IB and his new successor are proper busmen!Andrew Kleissnernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7432323264902617108.post-25623400577913398962015-10-24T07:28:09.329+01:002015-10-24T07:28:09.329+01:00It is only a list of departures times which increa...It is only a list of departures times which increasingly has replaced bus stop timetables. Arguably this route is short enough for a full timetable to be unnecessary but when checking a connection at the station, for example, it is good (and confidence building) to know when the bus gets there. fatbusblokehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06833340546527596517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7432323264902617108.post-36280026731941980502015-10-24T07:10:04.393+01:002015-10-24T07:10:04.393+01:00Surely Cobb, the coloured columns on the Blue star...Surely Cobb, the coloured columns on the Blue star Citylink display is a timetable?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
