Bus Issues in West End

Had a question raised by a West End resident about the height of the bus timetables on stops, so here's the response from the City Council :-
* * *
"The bus shelters and bus stop poles have been designed to meet the 'Inclusive Mobilility' guidelines, which are aimed at assisting elderly and disabled persons. The alternative would be placing displays so low that the majority of persons would not be able to read as the information would be below waist height."

Also had a complaint that service 42 & 96 timetables not on all Perth Road stops - see response below:
* * *
"With regard to 42 / 96 I was obviously unaware of this, thank you for bringing this to our attention we will look at amending this over the next couple of weeks, initial investigations are underway. It is a strange one as the base database and on line journey plan information has all stops on Perth Road, looks like a transfer to roadside display has let us down?"
