All the timetables are just automated from the data API's it's why they're all over the place with your 32/32A example. You'd need someone to manually change them all otherwise and I wouldn't want to know how many bus stops there are in Tyne and Wear and Northumberland (they do those aswell now) - it would take hours and that's being light.Yes, I agree with real time. How on earth Tyne and Wear does not have a basic functioning real time system, which would also help demystify the less frequent services, is beyond me.
Personally I'd love to see more real time information screens at bus stops. We're really behind compared to pretty much every other city which give real time information (also something else that doesn't exist). Google and apps can do it, there's no real reason why the bus stop displays in particular in bus stations couldn't do it rather than saying a bus is due which has been cancelled etc.
If I can stand at Kyle of Lochalsh Bus Stance to see if the three times a day service over the Skye is on time. Why can't I see if the 10 is on time at Crawcrook?

Which will all have a major impact on popularity, profitability and margins. Much more than a timetable layout that I'd argue not many people read on those routes/corridors anyway
Why do you think people let the less frequent services go by then? What possible reason is there for NEXUS to show the 21 and 25 separately on Durham Road in to Newcastle?
It's pure laziness
