That pretty much illustrates the point. I can't remember when I last
needed to get any kind of timetable booklet in London because,
firstly, I know that any route is likely to run frequently till late,
if not all night and, secondly, there will be timetables and diagrams
at the bus stop.

Well *I* needed and got a booklet in Kingston (did you know it has
*two* bus stations) and because there are both Tfl and Surrey buses the
diagrams were confusing, in some respects wrong and also chopped off
at unhelpful points.

I was responding to "what is says on the tin" --- "there is no tin".
