Here is an example for my local service. I can tell you unreservedly
that the stop info at the stop differs from this. I can also tell you it
is not accurate - the Sunday interval is particularly irksome as it does
not give the minutes past the hour just because there is one 13 minute
interval. The real stop info *does* show the minutes past the hour and
it's essential because who wants to turn up when the bus has just gone
and there's 15 mins to wait? What a mess.


Agreed. IMO, these "intervals" are only acceptable where the
frequency is better than every 10 minutes. 15 minutes is a long time
to wait in the freezing cold and pouring rain when you don't know when
the bus will turn up.
