Trafford to Lancaster.

OK, Manchester Trafford Centre to Lancaster Bus Station. 'No journeys'
OK, press the IE back button, not the one on the page.
Oops, it crashed.

Ok, fire it up again, Trafford Park (trains) to Lancaster (trains).
Lots of options with one change showing. Get the details, oops need to
change at WAC and WBQ.

Let's see if I can get any buses, oops IE crashed again....

I have had the thing crash on me several times. I fail to see the point
in using something that cannot work with Internet Explorer which is what
an awful lot of people will have on their computers.

Having read the long list of comments it seems this is primarily a rail
planner with a smattering of some National Express routes. There is no
concept of local journeys by bus and it is impossible to plan a door to
door journey. As most people actually travel from one place to another
rather than station to station I do not see how the accolade "The
Original and Best UK Journey Planner" can possibly be given to this
"system". The planner is therefore fundamentally flawed.
