ATOC Cockup number 2 of course is that whilst the station poster suggests you send a text to 84268, which is the national text number, the ITA's have always been different.<br />You got the standard response for an unrecognised query on 84268, but SYT have a text number of 64422, whilst WYMetro have 63876 (or METRO.<br />I've just sent 37022822 to 64422 and got a 43 to Sheffield at 1551, a 120 to Fulwood in 3 minutes LF, a 48 to Herdings in 4 min LF, and a 79 to Ecclesfield in 7 min LF. Timed at Pond Street at 1449.<br />So the information is there it's that damned poster again!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7432323264902617108.post-76455582466766861372012-08-13T10:50:54.181+01:002012-08-13T10:50:54.181+01:00No, sorry Ken.

It may be a number short in the graphics (I couldn't scan the phone!) but the call was as described.fatbusblokehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06833340546527596517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7432323264902617108.post-85069953075209775042012-08-13T09:20:52.370+01:002012-08-13T09:20:52.370+01:00I was at Weymouth a couple of days ago and looked ...I was at Weymouth a couple of days ago and looked at the onward travel posters there. They were at least 15 months out of date on stop labelling and as far as the service information was concerned it varied from the slightly inaccurate to the downright misleading. As someone who has been involved for the last three years in getting real time in to Weymouth including changes to town centre bus stops and Olympic preparations, it must surely have been on ATOC's radar that posters at Olympic venues should have been updated. <br />I'd be happy to look over any poster for a station in Dorset and whilst posters can become out of date the day they're put up (or 56 days later) there must be a solution to the on line ones. However I bet it's done as an annual project and there's no commitment, procedures, or budget to update them as services change.<br />Oh and by the way, your invalid stop code error example might be because you're a number short in your enquiry!!<br />Ken Traveline DorsetAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
