I know it's generally something that me and others moan about timetables with uneven patterns but it's good to see that the new £4.5m AI system that Firstbus (https://news.firstbus.co.uk/news/first-b...s-industry) is using is bringing out timetables which are all clean and efficent for customers... oh wait

What a mess the new timetables are in Stoke, with completely bizarre timetables, as an understatement

This is the sort of nonsense which is being produced - https://www.firstbus.co.uk/potteries/plan-journey/timetables?service=103&day=mf&date=2024-09-01 and even worse according to RailUK who have cyphered the timetables, there's buses sitting around 20 minutes here and there doing absolutely nothing so there's no reason why they're like this.

For the record this is what's being replaced - https://bustimes.org/services/3-hanley-t...ager-crewe, nice and clean.

Absolutely crazy, I guess the management there don't have a braincell between them to intervene and not notice it's a complete mess. It's like giving a kid with a computer who doesn't know what he's doing asking ChatGDP to create a timetable and literally use the thing without actually looking at it. They've literally produced a service which is worse than currently and increased the PVR in the process, what an own goal.
