![]() They've now pretty much disabled walking routes, the *******s. Even for a route like (St Faiths Road (x) Thurlow Park Road) to (Lanercost Close (x) Christchurch Road) it says you should do 2 minutes walk, 1 minute on a bus (a single stop, I believe) and then 2 minutes walk at the end, giving a "maximum journey time of 4 minutes". Unless the P13 runs approximately every 30 seconds, I can't see how the maximum journey time would be 4 minutes. Even if you set the date to Christmas Day, it still suggests using a (non-existent) bus. Better still, I know the walk from my house to the nearest train station takes 12-15 minutes, but the JP suggests a 20 minute walk to a nondescript point on a hail and ride route which is further than the station, and then getting the bus back to the train station. And if you tell it to use a route without buses, it says "Journey Planner cannot find any routes using these settings". *******s. It could last week. Also, the walking routes have had all streets removed from the maps. Perhaps they were getting fed up with me pointing out errors in the walking routes generated. Then again, maybe they didn't want people to realise that the walking route between two arbitrary points in London usually takes only about 50% longer than the quickest public transport route. But whatever the reason, there is no way that this publicly funded body is attempting to serve the public when they pull stunts like this. Like the police, they're not even pretending any more. |
