Do you use buses in London?
Ever endured the frustration of waiting at a bus stop in the pouring rain without a Countdown display, wondering whether to wait for a bus or start walking, or whether the bus will turn up in time for you to get to the station / airport etc and catch your onward connection?
Well wonder no more! TFL has now bought out a new GPS-based version of Countdown (Countdown 2) and you can access it on a desktop or a mobile phone. You can search for any stop in London and it'll tell you which buses are due to get to it and when. But the main advantage of this is that it's in REAL TIME, rather than just what the timetable says, which as we all know is a wild approximation in London unless you're catching a bus from where the route starts. Have tried it. Excellent!

Whilst I understand your sentiments,it's worth pointing out that london has more bus stops and probably more buses then the whole of Yorkshire itself.
