Scene: Eastbound bus stop at Charing X, evening of Thursday Nov 30. Bus
Stop is marked out of use with services diverted. (Strand was closed in
this direction due to a broken manhole.) However the countdown screen
showed the usual list of buses due...

When I arrived at my local stop the other week I was told it's ip address.

Mine was less helpful:
"Stop: 34145 ID: 1377
LAN IP: XXX.XXX.XXX.200
Connected (IP: XXX.XXX.XXX.194)
Authenticating... "

The Xs are as displayed, not my doing - a public address range? Stuck
forever on the Authenticating.. stage. Still, my first thought was
relief it wasn't running some sort of useless MS embedded OS.
