Eleanor The regular website won’t work for us VI’s as it’s a graphical site. When you put in the stop name or bus number it then gives you a map you have to click on so just stick to the mobile site.

If you would be so kind as to send me an off list text, explaining it a little, I would appreciate it. I did put in the bus number, but presumably I have to put in where I am and all sorts of other details.

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. ----- Original Message ----- From: Alex Stone <mailto:alexstone871@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Wednesday, September 28, 2011 8:58 PM Subject: [access-uk] Re: next bus The mobile site does work though Cheers Alex From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Williams Family Sent: 28 September 2011 20:37 To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] next bus 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. Brian
