Down here on Romney Marsh as a consequence at a remote bus stop near Lydd Army camp the 102 bus from Rye to Lydd (for Dover) suddenly becomes the 102 to Folkestone & Dover and vice-versa. Unfortunately none of the online journey planners can cope with the concept of a bus changing enroute so you are advised to alight and wait an hour for the connection an hour later.
This piece of stupidity is a result of the "workaround to the EU rules" to avoid the need for a tachograph on longer bus routes. Hopefully when we have left the EU it can be repealed and a bit of sense can return.
But even without those rules there are still two separate timetabled services that operate from Ormskirk to Preston and Preston to Blackpool South...that are always the same train, but not advertised as such, so the planner says you wait at Preston for an hour...
