Ok, got it sussed now, and yes, check which direction, keep both so you can check both directions. But their site works as good as the app, so got a lot of practice. entering a postcode is certainly the quickest to find the nearest stops to that, then pick one. But yes, the search, once I read about it, needed address and town in the search field to shorten the list. A stop in Willenhall - The Mall - brought up a hundred results all over the country, and was too much to flick through, though mine was probably there. Using the site at home on the pc can help so you get clues of the distinction, like many places have number schemes for their stops if they have hundreds of them, like big cities. i.e: Nottingham, tv45, tv46, these are both Top Valley stops opposite each other. The stop I needed in willenhall proved to be called, or numbered WA.
So yes, it's a gem and can, indeed does, do all I need of such an app, and deleted both previous models like NXWM and Bus-checker, which I also never did any good with. Thanks everso, RobH. Ps: there's a refresh button, so not sure whether it is live or TT based. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dave Sheridan" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Cc: "viphone" <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, March 28, 2014 11:13 PM Subject: Re: Next Buses? Hi Rob I haven't used the search facility to find the bus stops I want to save as favourites. When you open the app bus stops are listed usually with the nearest stops to your current location. I selected ones I was interested in and checked the direction of the bus or buses before saving these as a favouite. As there were 3 relatively near to me but offering different routes I was able to establish 3 favourites quickly. Any further ones I have saved I have done when I have been in the vicinity of these stops. I have found this invaluable as most of the stops in my favourites have more than one bus that stops at the bus stop so I am able to determine when the one I need is due to arrive. I do think though which was pointed out Next Buses information isn't live but based on the timetable. I'm using it in Birmingham both in the city and where I live on the outskirts. I hope this helpsa. Little. All the best from Dave Sent from my iPhone > On 28 Mar 2014, at 19:47, "RobH." <[email protected]> wrote: > > Ok, bought this, cheap enough and accessible.
