A new 'bus timetable' has appeared on the pole at the bus stop at the top of Ormerod Street. Now instead of listing the time it leaves town, gets up here, gets to Fern Gore, comes back down again etc it simply states that buses are due at that particular stop at 22 minutes past the hour and every 20 minutes thereafter.

OK minimalist it mat be but as long as it's practical I suppose that's not necessarily a bad thing.

So I leave the house just on the hour and as I round the corner what do I see? The bus leaving the bus stop further down the road! Is this the 18 minutes to which is late or the 12 minutes past which is early?

As it happens I was walking to town but that's not the point - the point is what is the point of a new timetable with new times when the bus itself seems to be keeping to an entirely different schedule?

Yes I will be complaining just as soon as I find contact details for Transdev.
