there are occasions when there is nobody around, and not all busstops have the
next bus displayed on them. It also means that on a cold wet day you don't have
to leave the house and stand for 20 minutes when you can find out when the next
bus is.

Are you suggesting for example, I am standing at my local bus stop, Minster
Road and I use my mobile phone to see what time the next bus is coming? Well
*smile* before I even get as far as taking my mobile phone out, the bus has
arrived *smile*. Also in London at least where I live, it is written up how
long each bus is away from the stop. OK so I can't read it but I dojn't mind
asking someone to tell me, I do not believe I need to be so independent that I
cannot ask a sighted person a reasonable question.

Hi all
for those living, or visiting London, and have stood around frustratedly
waiting for the next bus, there is currently a test website for discovering the
time of the next bus at your particular busstop. the website is
http://coundown.tfl.gov.uk
or from your mobile phone
http://m.countdown.tfl.gov.uk
I have used it at several stops locally in the last week and found it almost
totally accurate. You also have the ability to find all the stops each route
stops at so if the journey is unfamiliar you can have some idea how far your
stop is.
