& as with a lot of things, KISS seems to work :-) https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=18/-28.07721/153.42965 has a bus top (or should that be a Public Transport Platform? :-)) https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/2196646878, with a simple URL http://translink.com.au/stop/300704/gtfs/ (& yes, we have explicit permission to link to that data!) for the current timetable (next 2 departures), together with any known, upcoming changes. There are actually 3 routes that use that stop, with the other 2 being school buses - if you click on the "View Full Timetable" button, you then get https://jp.translink.com.au/plan-your-journey/stops/300704/timetable/2018-11-08?dateRedirect=False, which shows everything for today. That URL tag could be easily renamed to timetable / schedule or similar. Which page would we prefer - the current departures or the full day? I know that not everywhere has a usable GTFS, but for those places that do, it would appear to be a pretty simple process to make use of it! :-) Thanks Graeme
