Journey Planner and bus times

[Cheshire Cat]

Any requests I put into Journey Planner for bus jouneys always seem to bring up 'perfect' (i.e. no-wait) leg times, which I presume means JP just works on frequencies and not the proper timetable. Is there a way of obtaining accurate bus times, or do people just use average waits?

Yours in confusion

For bus times use www.londonbusroutes.net

Thanks. Why can't they put the proper times on the TfL site, or on Traveline like they do in the rest of the country!

Trouble with London buses is that the majority of them run at such high frequency, they often end up off timetable anyway!!
