Withington Bus Services

I've just been trying out the GMPTE Journey Planning local services finder.
Seems a step in the right direction for helping us find how the heck to use the local buses. The website is a bit slow at the moment, but it will have to search through huge amounts of data. It's something that I've looked into in the past through (alteris.co.uk) and when I get time/money I will look into it again. With all the talk of congestion charges and improving bus services I think it's crucial that GMPTE get this right.

Bear in mind that I've just done this search on a SATURDAY AFTERNOON, and the services available will be more during the week, and less during the evenings I expect.

Below are the results:-
