Moving Jay : Day Thirty Two : Planning Ahead Blog
21st July 2023
Spent most of yesterday getting all the bookmarks ready, for things that need to be done once we've got a moving date, and everything is 100% happening.

-=-=-

For future purposes, things like Royal Mail Redirection, Cable/Broadband House Move, NHS New Address, and more have been bookmarked.
There's no point doing that whilst we're still not 100% sure we're even getting that bungalow. With the house survey still not done (bot 'til Monday!) anything could go horrifically wrong!

But the pages have been saved, and hopefully it should be an easy enough task to get that done.

Still not sure on whether I can still get patient-transport all the way to Salford from the new bungalow. We'll have to work out how I'm doing that once we're there, I think.
Hmmm..

Meanwhile..



Today I've been planning bus routes for both Mum and Uncle. Mum's heading from here to the Bungalow, whilst Uncle's heading from his home, and hopefully the two should meet up halfway, assuming I got all the bus times right!!
It doesn't help that the GTMPE bus site doesn't appear to have good old-fashioned timetables anymore.

I'm having to type in the bus number, and the exact bus stop, and then it'll tell me when buses will be at that stop, and ONLY that stop.

In the olden days *old man yelling at clouds* you used to type in a bus number and the route would appear with the next few bus times at every stop along the way, then you'd scroll around and could plan things yourself.
Now the website wants to do all the planning for you, but is horrifically badly designed such that it's damn near impossible to get it to do what you want.
Grrr..

Stupid websites.

The AI Future can't come fast enough!
.. Maybe I should've tried to ask Bing..
Hang on, let me go and try that.

*tries*

No, Bing's still not quite 100% at doing that. It's got Uncle heading off in the opposite direction to catch a second bus at the start of its route, because it doesn't quite understand that you can get on a bus halfway along its route!
Silly Bing!!
