(groan) Traveline is very variable in it's offerings too. Although living in the SW region, I prefer what SE & Anglia produces.cold headhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15773703954322550157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7432323264902617108.post-61825789816267763822017-07-04T09:23:27.076+01:002017-07-04T09:23:27.076+01:00When I taught younger kiddies in a prep school I a...When I taught younger kiddies in a prep school I always did English lessons on reading and understanding a bus timetable and obtained a set of 30 books for my Maths colleague to use as part of his curriculum. Both worked well although the efforts of another teacher to get ALL her class to come to school by bus were profoundly unsuccessful.<br /><br />Because the industry has mostly abandoned printed timetable books, such useful education is no doubt impossible.<br /><br />And, anyway, it is all on line!fatbusblokehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06833340546527596517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7432323264902617108.post-26676322117749186492017-07-04T08:30:45.818+01:002017-07-04T08:30:45.818+01:00With Exeters P&R I always go to the Devon CC w...With Exeters P&R I always go to the Devon CC website.<br /><br />This not only gives Red and Green but also PR3 operated by Dartline for the Hospital and PR6 to County Hall with limited journeys.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7432323264902617108.post-88980868950116113982017-07-04T08:26:57.284+01:002017-07-04T08:26:57.284+01:00Oi!

Online there are complete routemaps with live times at each stop and also complete timetables for each route; NAT don't provide live times but they do have full timetables. CardiffBus have all their printed timetables available and well-displayed at all public libraries; NAT don't but do have them on buses. And the City Council has excellent information at stops, both printed and digital (although the live times seem to be a bit iffy just now and older buses aren't included). So Welsh people - at least in the capital - can read timetables!Andrew Kleissnernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7432323264902617108.post-49132055251587998762017-07-04T07:36:13.140+01:002017-07-04T07:36:13.140+01:00You wrote,

He was reading arrival times, one of the 2 busues/hour visited a supermarket taking the extra minutes.<br /><br />Perhaps he should be excused: he was not local and from Wales.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
