It does perpetuate the disaster of stating the destination 'Bath Bus Station' for a particular service, mind. The industry really needs to put its thinking cap on about this. Stating the terminus is often not the most helpful approach either though - an example being Bristol's 'Cherry Gardens'. Not sure what would actually be best.

Liked this. At Bath Spa bus station, where the screens at either end of the building are about as badly implemented as they can be and no-one cares except the pigeons.

This R2D2 unit is freestanding, battery powered, low energy consumption electronics, cool to the touch, no heat, no fan, paper white display so it can be positioned anywhere. OK it has a short horizon of service departures, so the list of upcoming departures is brief (and likely to be more relevant so this is actually a positive feature). It doesn't attempt to say from where a service is leaving but it has to be said everything in the rest of the bus station finds that a struggle too.



Oh, and those automatic doors at Bath Spa - they quite like to close when you're halfway through them but watch out for that as I don't think they've sensors on their edges so don't leave a body part behind.
