There is a virtual display for every bus stop, providing departure time information for buses calling at that stop, for nearby stops, or a map image to show the location of the stop. It is possible to bookmark / save your favourite stop for quick access on future visits.
If the view nearby stops option is selected, a list of stops in distance order is displayed showing the bus stop number, bus stop name, services and destinations served by that stop. There is also the option to view each stop on a map and to view departure information for that stop.
It is possible to obtain information on the internet by:
Option 1: Entering the bus service number
It is possible to find stop specific information by knowing your service number. Enter the service number, then select the specific service and destination you require.
By clicking the ‘+’ adjacent to the main stop, it will expand to display a list of the individual stops adjacent to the selected main stop. Click on the individual stop name for information and to identify the stop number for future use. It is possible to view the stop on a map to help you ensure that you have selected the correct stop.
Option 2: Entering your full postcode
It is possible to find your bus stop by entering your postcode. A list of stops within 1km of the postcode will be displayed, along with the services that call at that stop.
Click on ‘map’ to view the location of the stop or on the stop name to view the predicted departure times.
Option 3: Navigating by map images
In order to locate a bus stop, zoom down to the smallest level where all bus stops are displayed. In order to move to a different area either pan around the map or zoom back out, and then zoom back in to display the bus stops. After selecting a bus stop from the map, a separate window opens for that bus stop listing the next departures. Click on the 'detach window' to view more departures from the bus stop, to view special messages that may have been sent to the display (e.g. a bus stop closure notice), and to 'bookmark' the stop into your favourites list for future reference.
Option 4: Bookmarks
The quickest and easiest way to obtain information is to set up your most frequently accessed stop as a bookmark. Bookmarking simply saves the web address of your virtual display and allows quick access to that address on subsequent visits without having to re-enter the information on the main homepage.
