Unfortunately for you the companies are in competition with each other. As I’ve said before this all goes back to de regulation of bus services in 1986 when everything was “privatised”, thanks to thatcher. They are NOT competing I specifically chose the 86 route because Stagecoach run most of the services but late night and Sunday buses are run by First Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easy enough to click both? Why would anyone click both unless they knew that they service was split between the two . Anyone looking at the stagecoach timetable for the 86 would simply assume there was no sunday service Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can type in your destination, origin or bus operator and route and you will find timetables and calling points. Yes but my point was about why stagecoach and First buses do not include all buses on a route . I could also use the PTE timetable which show all buses. The problem is wen I google bus 86 sheffield timetable most people would click on the first link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was fairly useless last week, in covering the snow chaos, too. I rarely use it since during some long planed work on the tram network with services suspended they could not be bothered to update the journey planner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timetables that they produce are for their services. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are two private independent companies, how can they not be competing? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not sure that BigAl1 understands the meaning of the phrase “in competition with each other”. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
