Redhill Bus Station - Display

Redhill Bus Station - Display
Wow...look! They have managed to get the display that shows when the next bus is due (partially) working! It's only been missing/down or sitting in "test mode" for four and a half months and all of a sudden, here we show it displaying when the next three 435's are due, none of the other buses of course, but at least the 435 is one of the ones I am interested in...the only thing that confuses me, however, is that it was working absolutely perfectly before they tore down the old structure...so quite why they couldn't just carefully unplug it, smash the old building down and build the new one and then carefully plug it back in again (until any replacement system was ready) is a bit of a mystery...? Anyway, just pleased that there is a little progress towards making my journey home a tad easier...of course, if this new system is going to be a real-time accurate indication of where buses actually are (rather than just when they are "due") then I take it all back...the wait will have been worth every minute! We shall see... ;)
