Bus Stops ?

[vinh1000]

Struggled to get the bus stop plate and the real time in focus, but according to Centro's Real time the next buses at Six Ways Erdington are a 63, a 61, and the 144!

Oo, no full colour RTI on that stop then.

Any list of full colour RTI's?

Several places in Wolverhampton I can remember
Marston Green Interchange I believe has them :)

Bearwood Bus Station also

[Liverpool Street]

Also the majority of stops on the Pershore Road and Bristol, but then some have those useless LED ones, which says 'due in 3minutes' - well that's weird cause I'm about to board? And it was NOT running early. (And 3 minute early is nothing, really)

Several have appeared in Coventry, one opposite the Whitmore Park terminus only served by Stagecoach routes towards city which doesn't show realtime! They seem to show via points as long list of areas that has to scroll as it is wider than the screen. l will update tomorrow. l'm sure i'm not alone in despising scrolling messages. Technology used for the sake of it.

I agree with that, it was a nightmare when the Orange LED ones were scrolling 11A/C Destinations, you could wait upto 20 seconds before the Due time came up and there was an annoying blank gap half way through...

The 4M destinations at Cradley Heath are like that >:(

It is a nuisance!

Holly Hall Road (X26/X96) has the new Full Colour ones. Hawbush Road (225/226/250/251) is to have them fitted apparently soon

[Trident 4609]

I believe First Avenue in Bushbury Hill and Showell Circus aswell.

Does the stops on the 246 have full colour RTI's? Can't remember exactly

Some do, but many still have LED displays

[Trident 4609]

Also a few in Wolverhampton:

Patshull Avenue and Marsh Lane (3 and 25/25A route)

There maybe one or two on Birmingham New Rd too

[Dylan4579]

Northfield have them, and the Pershore road by the cricket ground.

[Liverpool Street]

Northfield have them, and the Pershore road by the cricket ground.

And Cotteridge, and outside the British Oak

When looking at a new one in Holbrooks, Coventry this afternoon the via messages were scrolling despite being short enough not to!

4 University Hosp   via Whitmore Park, Edgwick, Bishopsgate Green, Coventry, Gosford Green, Upper Stoke, Stoke, Wyken Green, Wyken!

55 Coventry  via Whitmore Park, Edgwick, Bishopsgate Green

Seems an appropriate enough thread to put this....

Obviously the live times on bus stops these days are all updated wirelessly somehow (Internet? Radio? GPS? Magic?). Would it not be possible to put useful information on there regarding delays etc as well? Such as if a bus has broken down and there won't be one for over half an hour, or if there's a sudden diversion or whatever? That would go a fair way towards put passengers a bit more at ease and less likely to take it out on the driver of the next bus to turn up as is all too common at the moment.
