Throwback to the past for Whitmore Park, 15 was the number used here until April 1985.

So just a handful of duties planned to operate during the strike and I appreciate the need for the Hospital links, however I am at a loss as to why they are effectively 'wasting a bus' by operating the 9 all the way to Finham, the Stagecoach 60 service amply provides a link from Finham and Styvechale to UHCW.  This bus could have been utilised better if it headed elsewhere i.e Tile Hill or any other vast area where there is no nearby routes provided by other operators.

Promising news even though my local routes aren't running - I just hope that people who would make non-essential journeys travel via alternative means where possible to free up seats for others who need it!

Hope the 17 and 20A are non-tracking today since only NX buses (according to bus times) going to hospital is the 9 which is running hourly...

Just seen 4772 on 17 so I reckon it's an issue with the timetables not being updated on bustimes causing buses to not track

If course it is. It is special timetables. Buses have to match what is registered with dvsa for tracking to work
