All I can seem to get up are bus times -

I can't really just rely on a google map from A to B, as there are bus routes in Cities which take less time... Plus traffic etc?

Look at the time the bus goes from the destination you are going from and then the time that it leaves from the destiantion you want to get to?

That is what I normally do.

If a bus leaves point A at 1.30 and leaves point B at 1.45 which is where you get off it takes 15mins?

Its blantently not what you asked about, but o well.

I'm nowhere near where i'm wanting to find out how long it takes, so can't look at the timetable.

Dan - I can't see what time it leaves the destination I want to get to, as thats where the route ends on all the routes. It's a nightmare

Matt - Yeah it's very very easy but it's complicated as I can't find out times of the routes etc.

Once you find the right bus theres wee links at the top right for which day youre going on.. That takes you to the timetables.

Edit: Too late

Buy a stopwatch, get on the bus, start it at the beginning of the journey, and stop it when you are there!

Voila!

only joking, try the timetables dude!
