A NEW way of providing bus passengers in the region with travel information is in line for a national innovation award.
Roadsider timetable units, which were developed to provide timetable information at bus stops, have been tested in Redcar, Hartlepool and Stockton.
The units are designed to fit around bus stops and have been provided free to the local authorities involved in the trial.
The units supply information on connecting routes, 24-hour guidance, and maps to make travelling easier for people in the North-East.
Unit designer Adbus, of Harrogate, has given businesses a chance to advertise and has provided space for council information free of charge.
The Roadsiders have won Adbus a nomination for the Innovation Award at the Bus Industry Awards in London later this month.
