London Transport Museum – LETS LOOK AT A BUS TIMETABLE 1986

Description

This London Regional Transport guide, “LET’S LOOK AT A BUS TIMETABLE,” serves to demystify bus timetables for the public, addressing common frustrations with their apparent complexity. Using the Route 142 timetable (Watford Junction to Brent Cross Shopping Centre) as a practical example, it provides detailed schedules for weekdays, Saturdays, and Sundays/Holidays in both directions. The guide clarifies the 24-hour clock, offers exercises for journey planning, and discusses service frequency, variable journey times, and measures to mitigate traffic delays. It also includes contact information for service inquiries. By equipping users with the skills to understand and effectively utilize these schedules, the document aims to make bus travel more efficient and less stressful for passengers.
