Also not sure what you mean about linking directly to a given bus stop
- you can bookmark each bus stop's individual page, and you can also
search for a specific bus stop using either the bus stop's name or
unique 5-digit code.

On the desktop version it's unfortunately all Javascript-heavy with no
real hyperlinks anywhere, so no pages to bookmark.

Not true, as Paul G has already pointed out - if you click on a
particular bus stop, then the bus stop's unique code will appear as part
of the URL in your browser's address bar (well it does for me)

Stops get a bookmarkable-ish URL, other things don't. However, using my
special web developer powers, i have also summoned this:

http://accessible.countdown.tfl.gov.uk/

Which is a non-javascript version where all the URLs are lovely:

http://accessible.countdown.tfl.gov....oud+green+road
http://accessible.countdown.tfl.gov....ocation/483458
http://accessible.countdown.tfl.gov.uk/arrivals/71018

There's also nothing stopping you using the mobile site from a desktop
browser:

http://m.countdown.tfl.gov.uk/search...oud+green+road
http://m.countdown.tfl.gov.uk/stopsNearLocation/483458
http://m.countdown.tfl.gov.uk/arrivals/71018

I would guess from the URLs that the accessible and mobile sites are the
same engine with slightly different output.
