Buses serving Great Waldingfield
Latest news… “I run StopToStop, a free website with bus timetables and live departures for the East Of England, built from the Department for Transport’s official Bus Open Data.
There’s a page for Great Waldingfield showing every bus that serves Great Waldingfield (4 routes), where each one goes, the stops, and live departures, always up to date as timetables change: https://stoptostop.co.uk/buses/great-waldingfield
Residents often ask councils about bus times, so you might like to link to it from the council’s transport or useful links page. There’s also a free live departures box that can go on the council website itself (one line of code; your web person will know what to do): https://stoptostop.co.uk/embed
It’s completely free, with no adverts and no sign-up. I’d be glad of any feedback from residents too.
Kind regards, StopToStop, StopToStop · https://stoptostop.co.uk”
