Metro bus stop error

[SF07]

A local resident in Ilkley has spotted an error on one of Metro's bus stops in the town (this might not come as a surprise to some people).

The bus stop on Skipton Road in Ilkley lists the main destinations that buses go to, including Skipton and Keighley, but also lists the non-existent 'Addington' as opposed to 'Addingham'.

The picture to accompany that story is a bit small on the website compared to the picture that accompanies the other part of the story, which is about a road sign at a junction in Otley that tells drivers that they can turn right at a roundabout to goto Skipton or go straight on at the roundabout towards Leeds, the airport and Skipton..again.

Here's the pic of the bus stop, which is a little clearer than on the website:

I've seen mistakes on timetable cases, back in 2005. the inbound stop at St James across Beckett wing, had missing Monday to Saturday Daytime service for 42(Displayed No Monday to Saturday daytime service), only showing the evening and Sunday services. This was corrected Three weeks later.

Metro like to advertise "Limited Stop" as if it is a destination which you could travel to.

Also people could be confused by the message "Buses towards... Both sides of the road" which seems to appear quite a lot! (Do I have to catch a bus, can't I just cross the road myself?). Metro don't seem to include possible destinations on those ones, just the notice that the stop serves both directions.

Best one is down Holmbridge with the H7. Near the church on a side street is a bus stop and timetable advertising the service to be stopping in the direction the bus stop is situated at. Dosen't say anything about it actually stopping on the other side of the road. The bus suddenly comes out of nowhere round a bend behind you, result, you've either been run over trying to get to the other side or you've not seen it in time and missed it.

The Otley Road is terrible for errors, never expect a stop to show 1, 6, 28, 28B, 95, 97 and X84 just a combination of perhaps 4 or 5 of them. 28B is frequently missing or shows the School Holiday timetable during School Term Time or vice versa

Here is south yorkshire there are a lot , the actual tt info on stops includes destianations for places that 99.9% dont know where it is ie fearfall wood which is in derbyshire .

In Greater Manchester, they had the service numbers that stops there and the general destinations of where they're going to, i.e 82 83 180 184 towards Manchester. Can get misleading when a number of services don't head to that destination though.

In derbyshire they still have Mainlin as an opeartor on some of the stops , not only does the operator no long exist but the services dont run wither
