An idea rather than a rant, but can we have Countdown in Clapham South station?
There is a sign above the exit which points to the various bus stops and list the destinations. Both the 50 and 249 server the southern end of Streatham High Road but from bus stops quite a distance apart. So at the moment you have to go to the 249 stop just south of the station, check Countdown there, and decide whether it is worth going to the other stop.
And presumably there are many stations in a similar situation to Clapham South where this would be useful. Clapham Common, for example, has both the 155 and 249 running the same way to Tooting Bec but gain from different stops.
If there was a Countdown display within the station you could see which bus is due next then go directly to the appropriate stop. It should not be that expensive as it is just the same system as already used at bus stops. Although more lines and bigger writing would be better in a station. But it would provide better integration between bus and tube, something which at times seems lacking, and be valuable to travellers.

I find countdowns really useful. Only thing that bugs me is when it says DUE IN: 10 mins and then a few minutes it jumps to 'DUE' Is the countdown system still being installed around London? I think it is something to ask TfL directly so 'someone' maybe worth visiting www.tfl.gov.uk and finding the contact us link  |

I think that every stop owned by TFL should have the countdown system.

TfL website. hi dose an one know where i can get a full bus time table from with all the service in London I find the TfL website quite poor in that respect, and since I am a bus enthusiast who needs to know every single departure of every single bus route in London, the excellent London Bus Routes website does it all for me. Even non enthusiasts I know of use it! URL: www.londonbusroutes.net |

Is this a bus stop issue. In Sudbury Hill bus stops D & V say "Sudbury Hill Station" shouldn't stop "D" be called something else? |

I think that was a problem with the old system, where they only knew where a bus was when it passed certain check points. So because of traffic it can end up jumping all over the place. With iBus it should be a lot more reliable now as it will know where a bus is at all times, and be able to gauge how slow moving it is when traffic is bad. It always seems strange to me which bus stops have it, and which do not though. There are some really busy locations without it, and other ones in more residential areas which do not. I kind of agree with route92 that they should have it everywhere, although that would probably be too expensive. Certainly they should have it all the stops along major roads. I think it is something to ask TfL directly so 'someone' maybe worth visiting www.tfl.gov.uk and finding the contact us link That would definitely be better than enquiring on here! I meant to post this on the general discussion and rants thread, just to see what people think. Looks like I messed up and confused the two general thread again. Oops. |

Even non enthusiasts I know of use it! URL: www.londonbusroutes.netI think those can be useful, but because of the way buses are regulated, at least on high frequency routes, I think knowing the frequency is more important now anyway. And on the TfL website you can download the timetables specific to every single bus stop in London, which is very good. The problem is they are just buried away so no one knows about it. |
