Bus stop travel information

John Fareham and John Abbott are working to ensure that the information displayed at bus stops such as the one near the junction of Bricknell Avenue and Hotham Road North is correct. We noticed, as this is a bus stop we use frequently, that the map of bus services being displayed there was, to put it mildly, more than a trifle out of date. For example, it lists as still running East Yorkshire service 109, which stopped some years ago; it also shows Stagecoach service 10 as running via Bricknell Estate, which it ceased to do some months ago. We will pass over the fact that it is showing services running elsewhere, such as the 215 via Newland Avenue, which have also been withdrawn, and content ourselves with observing that we have received undertakings from the officers that, as soon as a revised version of the map is available, a copy will be put up at this bus stop. Regrettably, we have also been obliged to draw to the officers' attention an error in replacing the list of bus times from this stop. This list showed only times for Stagecoach service 13, whereas in fact service 110 has not only been retained as a result of our efforts but has in fact been considerably extended. This information is now on display.
