One glitch or problem I have just found, is the 'plan your journey' bit.
Never really used the old website, but I had seen it had been re-jigged so had a quick look
The plan your journey section obviously uses some sort of link using key words in the timetables, rather than other similar sites that uses different methods.
So a journey from Houghton to Fencehouses isn't found. A journey from Houghton to Fence Houses is found.
Also, because of the link to the timetables, if you want to find a journey from Houghton to Castletown to pick up your car from its MOT say - then because there isn't a direct bus between the two places, your search returns no results.
