You might have heard of the FAIL Blog. A muchly humourous site where there are photos of things that have FAILed. There's a lot of photoshopped stuff there, so be warned.
Anyways, I was messing with Google Maps new "Take Public Transit" thingy. Of course, it is clear that they've not got a full database of all forms of public transport yet. But this route is just silly... (clicking on the image may or may not take you to the actual page - I have a feeling that it'll change the routes it shows you depending on the time of day... pick different routes from the side [the walk bus walk one!])
In case you're slow, the route involves walking to a bus stop by the station, to get a bus back to nearly where you start from, to walk the rest of the trip back to Dunkirk.
It gets even better! It's now showing a (presumably) more sensible route, but if you click on "get reverse directions" it suggests the following:
Walk to Riverside Retail Park, Clifton Bridge North (E-bound)
Bus - 450 - Retford - London
Arrive Broughton, Milton Keynes Coachway (!)
Bus - 450 - London - Retford
Arrive Nottingham, Broad Marsh Bus Station Bay 13
Walk to Nottingham, Nottinghamshire, NG1 2AA
I don't know how you manage to do it so quickly!

That's brilliant. All the way to Milton Keynes, just to cross the A453!
