Back in September 2011, I noted that the Countdown pages like
http://countdown.tfl.gov.uk http://m.countdown.tfl.gov.uk didn't play well with the Kindle browser inasmuch that one couldn't type text into the Search box. (Subject Countdown Regenerated... ) I have since been using the workaround of putting the bus stop code into the URL directly as http://m.countdown.tfl.gov.uk/arrivals/47983 Yesterday I tried again and it's working ! Note that the latest 3G Kindles restrict web browsing so you need the Kindle Keyboard 3G or be in a Wi-Fi hotspot. * Since the Countdown web server went live I have had a couple of "we have no information for this bus stop location" responses with, I understood, were only if there was no bus within 30 mionutes. One such was out towards Leatherhead on the 465 route - the bus arrived within 10 minutes and was displayed for subsequent stops. Another was yesterday (Bank Holiday so Sunday service) at Mortlake Green opp Ship Lane. Since I had plenty of time in hand I walked along the 419 route toward Hammersmith Cemetery/ Chiswick Bridge in the hope of a 190 or R68 and got a display showing these but not the 419 which turned up first at 1308. Any comments ? -- Mike D |
