All you need to do to see the pretty good job Centro do is to take a trip on the 255/256, just outside the operating area and into Worcester, where no bus stops are marked with the route numbers that stop there let alone any timetable information, most of the stops are just poles and any shelters that exist are just scruffy wooden huts, I'm right behind Cenro, other than the silly stands in the City centre, which might look nice but offer no shelter!

Will back you up there, the Worcestershire equivalent of Centro (whatever it is) does a much worse job. For example I could find no bus timetables anywhere in Upton-Upon-Severn for the 42/43 (hourly services to Malvern which come almost at the same time), so I just had to lean on a flimsy bus stop pole until one came!

Well to say PTE areas have better bus stops etc is not true-Oxfordshire and many stagecoach areas have brilliant ones

That reminds me, I do like the bus stops around Oxford, seem to have very detailed timetables and are more stylish than ours


To be honest I like everything bus related around Oxford! A shining example of deregulation at its very best

Yah shelters just brick shelters with absolutely no seats/timetable etc and even the bus stop flags are in a right state sometimes
