The toilets were un-refurbished, they are cramped and a little 'tired' but at least they are there.<br /><br />The enquiry office in the Haymarket normally leaves the leaflets which haven't been put on the racks alongside (which are supposed to be for everyone not just First) on the counter so they can be seen and reached, not sure why this hasn't been done. St Margarets also have racks for operators publicity, in this case managed by Arriva staff rather than council ones, but this has been less and less filled up recently which is disappointing. <br /><br />Whilst the 22 stand is a simple one, there are a lot of stands/routes in Haymarket where there are multiple routes and/or terminal variations where the destination as well as route number is vital. I suspect that fbb will have to accept, no matter how much I agree with him, that departure lists are here to stay and that timetables at bus stops will probably be in a minority, there are a lot of customers who struggle to read/understand a traditional timetable who can use a departure list much easier. However whilst the LCC displays are not the worst out there they do miss the, what I consider vital, aspect of journey times to help identify the direct from indirect routes to locations & I would prefer a bit more contrast where there are multiple routes than the black & white, single font style they use here (they have another style elsewhere that does colour code though they did, at least initially, manage to give every operator but Centrebus different shades of blue just to confuse).dwarfer1979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7432323264902617108.post-79044137648327155702018-04-09T07:58:34.531+01:002018-04-09T07:58:34.531+01:00The railway station stop is far better than its pr...The railway station stop is far better than its predecessors, which were on the far side of the multi-lane road, and could not be crossed in one go.<br />The current arrangement is an excellent example of making a minor alteration to road layouts that benefits both buses and their passengers.Shieldsmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00197794322283545552noreply@blogger.com
