(16 Dec 2012, 5:09 pm)Brandon wrote A few days ago I started to compile the Metro timetable into a bus timetable format. I don't find the Nexus version easy to use, especially when timing for a bus service at the other end. I have most of the Saturday timetable complete, and have touched on the Monday-Friday and Sunday timetable. I'm hoping to include the Northern rail service between Sunderland, Heworth and Newcastle Central too. I'm not doing it all in one go because it's a bit much, but I'm hoping to be able to upload it by the end of next weekend, by just doing a little bit at a time when I get a free moment. It will be in Excel format for easy customisation
Great! I have always wanted something like that for my phone. I have all bus timetables saved on my phone but I'd be grudged putting an "every platform" kind of timetable on my phone. :L
Thanks a lot in advance, can't wait to see the result.
On another note...
