Document or information on all destination and via points on bus blinds

[Pat]

I understand that this do change but at the moment and as far as I can see until further notice NX will be operating to a destination with one via point and yes I know the list could change with in weeks but if its it for the forseable then I think I'm going to be done before it all changes again!! 😁

But it's pointless in rushing to do it just for them to be changed and you having to do them again.

I want to say 18 Yardley Wood via Cotteridge but may be wrong.

It does.

I'm not rushing I've been doing this since Jan of this year and I have been keeping up with the route changes but not the destination blinds information. This is why I need the help of this forum. I know there's a chance that they could change in the next couple of months but if I've got the upto date routes I only need to do the destination indicators. So I think I'm doing ok at the moment for the documents.

[Bus Man K2]

It does.

Thanks for the conformation for the 18. I assume that's in both directions?

But i'm still at a loss as to how the destination blinds help you create stop lists.  Surely just having the route information is enough?

It helps me as I include what the destination blinds say. So it helps.. I hope that makes sense? 😁  I'm not trying to start auguments and also not trying to anger peopke on here I'm just going about my day to day jobs. One of which it to create stop list dicuments for my reference which include Destination indicators/blind information.

My documents include the following

Info page
route number.
written route including the two termini.
Frequency
Day
Peak hours
Evening/Sunday
Destination indicators
Single/return journey times
Which garage operats it
Vehicle allocations
date of when I last updated it

Then secong page Stop list which include all stop codes with in city centre or along the route.

Then on routes that are together on one timetable like 11A/C how many stop it includes on the bottom of each page of stop list

I see where you're coming from, however including destination information could be more confusing to people, as like many have said, there can be multiple blinds for the same route and that these change often.

I think he's saying that the documents for himself to be honest "documents for my reference".
People can find route information on NX Bus site, Traveline, etc anyway.

The documents are for a selected number of people and not in the public domain..so the people in the know will know, that it changes occationally and also I will try to keep them as upto date as posible!!😁 This is as they don't change that iften. They only seem to change when the route changes or like now in a pandemic.

Hi @paulb1973  Thanks for this list...for the services that terminate in the Centre I assmue they have the same via points as outbound journeys for the return journeys?

Thanks for these... I have amended this now.

[paulb1973]

Re. the NXC list above - yes the return journeys are broadly the same. I think some of the inbound non-cross-city routes just display 'Coventry' - buses on the 12X certainly do. I don't get to see the school services too often, not sure if 'via' displays are even shown.

There are also the JLR contract services - but I'm not sure if these are running currently.
