The Welsh govt ignore these things though. Bus stops in Flintshire haven't had timetables updated in over 7 years so the new T8 isn't showing on plenty of bus stops. Same for Wrexham Council meaning the T3 and T12 aren't shown very well.Doesn't bode well for public control of buses in Wales...
The Naptan databse (which tells journey planners where bus stops are) haven't been updated in years by either Flintshire nor Wrexham councils so some stops are listed online as over 100 metres away from their real place. This affects plenty of TrawsCymru routes, again, completely ignored.
TravelineCymru is completely incompetent. Their database is has more errors than I don't know what. I've reported errors to them over a year ago and their shambolic staff can't even correct things. T3 on Sundays missing the start/finish at Ruabon Vauxhall Industrial Estate and missing the set down only to Wrexham for example. T8 missing the Llew Jones trips and the set down only from Bretton Lane to Chester. I could go on! I've reported it all to the Welsh govt, they see this shambokic organisation as key to the future of Wales. The same team who can't do basic data entry now, is key to the future?
There is so much more that can be said but it wouldn't be relevant to TrawsCymru. Until the Welsh Government wakes up and starts fighting the public authorities who are collectively killing off bus demand with their actions, buses will never be successful in Wales.
