[Talk-GB] Naptan Imports

[Kev js1982]

Preston bus (used?) to operate on a hail and ride basis - i.e. it would
stop anywhere on the estates to pick people up and set them down - in
reality this became a few set places (i.e. where the footpath was paved up
to the road edge rather than having a grass verge) but still rather handy
actually!

the set down places still seam to be used but the pick up places are all
bus stop a now (however there are more than there used to be - most
installed where people used to "hail and ride"). Seams to be a sensible
idea for a new build estate - put the paths and bus stops where the people
want then!

Also a couple of buses a day were extended past the terminus so there was a
customary stop opposite the terminus (now signed on the route I know best
as its no longer a terminus for most services!).
