Electronic Departure Board is Just the
Ticket
An electronic departure board has been
installed at the town’s bus station displaying useful departure
information so that bus-users can now effectively plan their
journeys.
This installation forms part of the town
centre regeneration programme and compliments the four new bus
shelters introduced last year.
Bromsgrove District Councillor Rita Dent said:
“I am delighted to see the regeneration project is working and
raising quality across the town centre and this is the latest
development.
"Other developments to the area included the
award winning refurbished toilet block and landscaping of the
surrounding area. “
The board shows departures over the following
twenty to thirty minutes at the bus station which boasts 30 to 35
departures every hour.
District Councillor Ted Tibby added: “There’s
nothing worse than standing around, waiting for a bus and wondering
when the next one will turn up.
“Now users of public transport can see at a
glance when their next bus is.”
Funds from Worcestershire County Council, who
are a partner of the Bromsgrove Regeneration Programme team, were
secured and successful negotiations to purchase the system
followed.

be installed at Bromsgrove Bus Station.
