An interesting bus times information sign up in the bus shelter at the Saddle stop in Blackpool. Stagecoach route 61 passes this stop while working out of Blackpool towards Preston. Notice that the Monday-Friday and Saturday times at the top and the middle of the sign show the times for buses heading to Preston, which is correct for this stop. However the Sunday times at the bottom show times for buses heading into Blackpool only. Not good if your wanting to travel on a Sunday to Preston. Which is just what I was waiting to do when I took this picture.
Two trains at the exact same time, one is highlighted in red. One is inter-city, the other is inter-regional. Guess which one I remembered when I turned away from the timetable? (Not to mention that having the timetable organised by minute of the day instead of destination is dumber than a bag of spanners.)
Another time table mistake, this time at Preston Bus station. This is the time table information for the 109 route that runs between Chorley, Leyland & Preston. Its worked by both Stagecoach North West and John Fishwick & Sons with a combined frequency of every 20 mins. Stagecoach operate two buses per hour with Fishwick operating the third bus each hour. Although the timetable provides the times for each departure, it doesn't show which operator operates which service. It actually works as the xx.05 departure being Fishwick and the xx.20 & xx.40 departures being Stagecoach. This information would be handy to know as the two operators only except route rider tickets and return tickets issued by ether operator. Any other tickets are operator specific. Also the two operators run to a slightly different route in the Euxton area and serve different stops in doing so.
Timetables with route map for routes CR1 - CR3. Services are only daytime i.e. no evening service and no Sunday service.
In the last couple of years or so, Surrey CC have gone for stop specific timetables, which is fair enough as it's the way things are going industry-wide.
Personally, I'm not a fan - as stop specific gives less information, and I can read a bus timetable.
Earlier in the month, I snapped this shot of the 18 and 19 timetables at Haslemere Town Hall.
The 18 has a full, main route stop specific timetable.
The 19 has Surrey CC's other new style, for less busy routes, consisting of the computer-generated stop specific times at the top of the table, then showing the rest of the normal timetable below. Personally I think this is much better than what the main routes are getting!
