Default Bad planning


A couple of months ago a spider map for the Bricklayer's Arms Roundabout in
Southwark finally appeared on the TFL website. It hasn't yet appeared at bus
stops (although, oddly, for stops beyond East Street, the Old Kent Road
spider map _has_ appeared, but isn't available on the website yet).

This morning as I was coming home I noticed that the 168 has been extended
from Elephant to Old Kent Road (Tescos), presumably to deal with the fact
that it's damn near impossible to get a bus at the top end of OKR in rush
hour, as they're so packed from places further out of town. However, the new
route isn't shown on the bus maps.

So, TFL have managed to produce two bus maps which are out of date within
weeks, one of which never even got a print run... I think the word is,
oops...
