The fact that, when I'm waiting for a bus at a stop which has several services, some of them variants of the same route number, I want to know what to look for on the headsign. I don't want to know what the marketing dept calls that route, or what's on the brochures and timetables inside the bus, I want to know what is on the headsign. I may be in a hurry. Too much of a hurry to use the query tool to work my way through the several routes and variants on that stretch of road so I can find the headsign tags. I'd like it on the map. I'll accept a superset, so if the headsign says "Aberystwyth" and the timetable says "Cardigan to Aberystwyth via New Quay" I'd be happy enough with the latter. Route designation as well, of course, especially if that's on the headsign (which it usually is). All that is just my opinion. Which may differ from best practises, worst practises and any other practises known to man. I have a wish, not shared by everyone on the list, that maps be useful. Feel free to tell me what best practise says about https://www.ceredigion.gov.uk/media/3813/t5-x50-554.pdf If I get on at Cardigan the headsign says "T5 Aberystwyth". -- Paul
