Has there been an update whereby overnight journeys are duplicated across days and show at the start and end of consecutive days? For example, a Tuesday service leaving at 25:30 (01:30 [+1]) will appear as such at the end of the day on the Tuesday service as well as 01:30 on the Wednesday...

The Dublin Bus 16D service: 16D - Airport - Beaumont Village - Ballinteer not The description suggests it serves Beaumont Village and (in not so great English) that it doesn’t serve Ballinteer, when it’s the other way around.

That's brilliant - thank you so much!

Hello, could I please have some advice on the correct ticket to purchase for the following itinerary? 30 December 2024: 09.30 GWR London Paddington to Bristol Temple Meads 31 December: 07.30 Bristol Temple Meads to Bath Spa (break of journey) then 11.35 from Bath Spa to Andover via Trowbridge...

One small piece of advice: don’t use Google Maps for public transport journey planning in Ireland, as it’s been out of date for months now.

It's really impressive that TfL have had iBus since 2007. Leaps and bounds ahead of almost all operators.

You have to unfortunately shop around at Paddington. The Praed Street (District and Circle lines) did it for me, but the staff under the concourse refused with the same barrage of excuses you got.

What was the minor route change?

I can't find much about fares but their website is better than average and they do have timetables for their local routes. Link

Given that Bristol zoo is due to close in future and be relocated to South Gloucestershire, I wonder if this will lead to a downgrade of the importance of the 8. Without such a large pull for passengers at the top of Clifton, I can imagine there'll be some restructuring of routes in the area. Of...
