hackey lad Posted June 18 Share Posted June 18 Can someone tell me the difference between this one and the ones on Arundle Gate . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyrotequila Posted June 18 Share Posted June 18 They look cool, and if they can track where the bus is in real time then great! Should also save some trees by not having to change the paper timetables, but also put some folks out of a job with the same stroke. Fully predicting that some little scrote will come along and try and smash it with a hammer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The First app is quite good for tracking buses at least — I use that quite regularly when catching a First bus. Not sure what the other bus apps are like for live tracking? My wife has the First bus app on her phone & it is very good. You can even see the little bus symbols with the bus numbers approaching your stop. Eventually you can actually see your particular bus approach & watch in awe & wonder as the bus drives past with 'Not in service' on the front of the bus. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ones on Arundel Gate are about as useful as not having any - they are close to illegible unless you get just at the right angle. 8 minutes ago, Pyrotequila said: They look cool, and if they can track where the bus is in real time then great!

Highlight 1 - they are a great improvement on the ones mentioned in the post above, and perform the same function, but in a sensible way. Highlight 2 - in this region, we seem to have a preponderance of scrotes of all ages and sizes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After several years, (when I'm unable to pick her up from work), would be far happier to see some bus shelters put up on Arundel Gate. Her & no doubt thousands of other cold & soaked bus users.

Or a scrote with a spray paint can to obliterate the lot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are supposed to be relocating the services on AG123/AG124 (the 'temporary' covid-19 provisions) to the stops higher or lower on AG - but if you think SYCMA and SCC can get together and plan this sensibly - think again. The relocation details have been available for at least 6 months - I saw a detailed explanation - somewhere - in very early February, but can't find it now.

You see a sensible person working for SYCMA or SCC would have, several years ago gone, "We've got all these spare, no longer used bus shelters on Leopold St & Pinstone St, since we stopped running the buses along those routes & having relocated the buses to Arundel Gate. Now what to do with all those unused bus shelters? Hang on a minute, I've had a brilliant idea!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
