235.0. "Timetable of buses to/from The Crescent." by CURRNT::SAXBY (Isn't it 5.30 yet?) Thu Nov 16 1989 11:31

    This might already be covered, but I can't find a note with a title
    related to it so here is my question.
    
    Does anyone have a definitive timetable for the free bus service
    to and from the Crescent?
    
    The lunchtime timetable is :-
    
    Depart Crescent			Depart Town (by Jackson's garage)
    
    12.05				12:50
    13.05				13:50    

    I don't, unfortunately, know the times of buses to and from the
    station, or where they pick up/drop off. Does anyone else have that
    information to hand?

	The bus from the station leaves from the bus stops opposite
	the station at about 8.40. (I don't know what the 'official'
	time is supposed to be.) Various other private buses/coaches
	also stop here so it's as well to make sure you're getting on
	the right one!

	The bus to the station leaves from the middle staff entrance
	(i.e. the one at the junction of blocks A and B) about 5.35 and 
	drops you off at the same place that they pick up from in the
	morning.

	Hope this helps,

	June.
235.2A bit early!CURRNT::SAXBYIsn't it 5.30 yet?Thu Nov 16 1989 15:1912
    
    Ah ha,
    
    So it probably was the Crescent bus I saw leaving just as I came
    out of the station. 8.40 seems excessively early, considering that
    we don't have to be at work until 9.00! I came to work on the train
    today and was giving some thought to doing it on a regular basis,
    but the train I would catch doesn't come in until 8.40 and so I'd
    have to walk to work every day (fine this morning, but no fun if
    it's pouring with rain!).

    Is this bus service still in operation during the morning and
    afterwork?
    
    Does it stop at Viables?
    
    What are the current times of operation?
