BTW, I am mildly amused by the timetables for the N29 which tell you in big
letters that there is a bus ever 6-8 minutes, with a footnote saying that
the following buses only go to Wood Green, giving the exact times of the 50%
which are short journeys... no-one realised that giving the exact times of
the long journeys might be more useful than giving the exact times of the
short ones... or just giving the times of all the buses, utilizing the fact
that the timetable repeats every hour anyway. As usual with TfL information,
a one-size-fits-all policy is applied to everything, with little care to
special cases.

It's even worse for the N18. The N18 runs to Sudbury Town every 10
minutes, with every third bus continuing to Harrow Weald. However, the
timetables at stops (e.g. Trafalgar Square) don't mention the fact
that any of the buses terminate at Sudbury, i.e. they make it look
like there's a 10-minute-frequency service through to Harrow Weald.

The worst part is that there's no indication of what times the Harrow
Weald buses actually run, which I think is unacceptable for a
half-hourly service.
