No, you are not lazy at all and are quite in order to use such commonly-accepted acronyms, as we are all aware of their meaning.
You have a very good precedent for using them....I also use them

We then board the 0003 GWR service 2C97 to Lawrence Hill, arriving there at 0028 in the early hours of Friday morning.
And before anyone says, Lawrence Hill has 24 hour buses so no excuse to go to sleep!

If you are able to walk from Nine Tree Hill to North Street in three minutes I am very impressed! it is definitely longer but there is plenty of time before the next service anyway

Firstly, let me apologise for the walking time stated in my last posting....I had jotted down a number 8 but read it as a number 3 when I made the posting.
Your superior knowledge of Greater Bristol is one where you have the advantage of me, as I can trace an Eastville Centre, but not an Eastgate Centre on the service 5 route we were on and the service 17 route that I hoped to join for the next onward journey.

Many thanks for this clarification.
It does appear that the settlement location of Eastville was not shown in the last posting, but only as Eastgate (Shopping Centre).
