Hey, they're bringing in real time "when the bus is expected" displays. I wonder if it'll work? I wonder if it'll be available online? (That's what would be most useful to me, be at home and see if "OMG there's a 50min wait. I'm walking" or "Hey, 5 min, best get out there" rather than the assumption that busing is an inherent choice independent of speed :))

In other news, I totally forgot to use my feminism tag on the last post :)

And then the driver will get lost because he lives in Sheffield and has never been to Cambridge in his life, and you'll have to direct him back to the route and all the way round it, so it'll take twice as long as we said it would anyway. (This has happened to me more than once!)

Got on a rail replacement bus from Letchworth to Royston a few months ago, where the driver set off seemly knowing where he was going and proceded to get on to the A1 in the wrong direction (ie back to London...)
