Bus timetables are late arriving

I am writing, as I want to inform your reader’s about a concern that I have. Since early April there has been a change in bus services in Hastings and Rye. As a result of this, all bus timetables have been removed, but no replacement has been erected at most bus stops. On a temporary timetable, it informs people to go online to find timetables. I am very concerned about this, as some people are unable to use the internet, so how are they suppose to find out when the bus is coming?

I understand that we are currently in a lockdown but people who do not use the internet still have to go certain places such as to get shopping, or for medical treatment.

I have even tried looking online but I am unable to see a precise timetable, so this gives me the impression that there isn’t one. Surely there is?

As of publication on Friday, 8th of May 2020, the timetable would have been in use for over 5 weeks. I understand that fitting timetables can take some time, but this is surely dissatisfactory.
