Comprehensive Transport Departure Board

I originally found this on TfL's website - but I can't find it there now. It's really good. You use the stop name. If you type in "Barking Station" you get all the departures of buses from the bus stops of that name - and all the Underground and National Rail departures. You get tick boxes so you can deselect routes / lines you aren't interested in (though National Rail is lumped together).

This is really handy for knowing what's happening at your local bus stop - and if you're not certain of the name of the stop you can enter a search string.

If you search the web for "XSLT_DM_REQUEST" you will find similar facilities for other world cities.
