Great to have your support. I noticed that there are a few stops in the
West Midlands where the name in Naptan doesn't match the name on the flag
(unfortunately I don't remember by heart which ones). This means the visual
announcement in the announcement in the bus (and the information in online
timetables) is different from the name on the flag, so from a usability
perspective it would make sense to fix this. Is there any process of
reporting situations like that?
