Now and Then: Derriford Bus Stops

Derriford bus stop improvements

Now: April 2010 Things have definitely improved for bus passengers at Derriford Hospital over the last few years. New shelters with (finally) working Real time displays are welcome additions along with the very recent new bus lane which so far has made a big difference. The new bus stop flags are a lot clearer concentrating ob areas served rather than route numbers which is a much better idea when several bus route actually use two different bus stops as they head off in opposite directions... Then: June 2007 Although the old (small) bus stop shelter is out of shot to the left, you can see the state of the bus stop flag. It was leaning like this for ages! The display of which buses stopped where was also very untidy and not at all clear.
