What's the most up to date search engine for transit within the UK?
So Transport Direct closed in 2014 and now I am trying to find my way from Heathrow to Bristol at 19:30 or so on a (not so) bright November Monday.
Searching GWR gives me results that go to Reading bus station despite their own parent company running a bus to Reading rail station adding a 13 minute walk:
Google Maps (and traveline) shows a Megabus at 7:40PM which simply doesn't exist according to Megabus (it's not that there is no space left on the date I am checking, they run roughly every two hours and there's one at 7PM surely there isn't one at 7:40PM). And I checked the map and Cabot Circus is indeed the mall next to the Megabus stop so it's the same route.
Is there a reliable, working transit planner these days?

From my experience using http://www.traveline.info/ the information has always been up-to-date and to my knowledge is the only UK site to integrate bus, coach and train timetables and to offer itineraries using mixed modes of transport if appropriate.
Obviously always worth double checking with actual bus/coach/train companies own websites, where traveline can be the starting point to find out who the companies are that operate a given route.
