There are over 3000 bus stops used by Stagecoach in Devon. Almost all of them have timetables displayed that are easy for the passengers to see, not all that easy to read and for some of the passengers, impossible to understand. I have always said the reading timetables should be on the National Curriculum. I ask you, which is more important, knowing how long Queen Victoria rained for, or standing at the bus stop at Victoria Park and knowing how long you have been waiting for the next bus to Brixham so you can moan at the driver when it turns up late? Or even knowing how to spell reigned?
Anyway, twice a year the times of the buses change and our bus stop man has to go round all of the bus stops and change all the timetables. And here he is attempting to change those on the bus stop near the depot on the Newton Rd. The driver watching is thinking, "Driving a bus really isn't that bad a job after all."
Also to be seen in the photo is the type of class adverts our passengers get to read while they are waiting for a bus. No wonder they moan at us when we are late. Which doesn't happen often. Honestly.
