A partial answer

If you go to the Transport Direct website, mobile phone section: http://www.transportdirect.info/TransportDirect/en/TDOnTheMove/TDOnTheMove.aspx then you can enter a time for stopping passenger services, unlike live departures where they only tell you about what's going on now... it's only a partial...

Good program

Are you the creator of this program? If so: is there any way to suppress the Arrivals pane completely? And one thing I have noticed is that when NR departure boards have a section for bus links, it displays them but not chronologically (e.g. Oxford). Otherwise a handy program.

A few similar experiences

Two bad, one good for balance: * After panicking throughout a tube journey from Paddington to Liverpool Street about whether I would catch the 23.30 last train back to Norwich, arriving at 23.29, running like hell and being on the platform while the train was still stationary, the guard still didn't...

XPTE: I need to get to Bristol by either late Friday evening or as early in the day as possible on the Saturday. And then return to London on the Sunday evening. National Express would seem like the best way. Online you can get the 17.30 (arr 20.15) on Friday, then the 16.45 from Bristol (arr 19.20...

Hooray for Megatrain! Restores your faith that there is still cheap travel out there so nice to see them expanding to my hometown (Edinburgh) of all places. OK, so it's Stagecoach, but I don't mind living with that ;)

Well, ok. But it further backs up my other point: that is, that none of it makes the blindest bit of sense. Two tickets cheaper than one? OK, it might "happen" a lot, but try telling that to your average person who turns up at Bristol and naively thinks that if they want to go to Edinburgh then they...

Fares not making any sense

I found this ridiculous when I was doing this journey a couple of months ago. Bristol Temple Meads to Edinburgh, walk-up fares: Standard Open Single: £97.00 But: Bristol Temple Meads to Preston SOS: £49.00 Preston to Edinburgh SOS: £40.00 Total £89.00. So it's cheaper (and no slower) to get a ti...
