I have noticed since using the Arriva Bus App from 24th May, when viewing services in Live Map mode (an excellent feature that is sadly lacking in both NX and NWM apps), buses working Arriva services on Cannock and Stafford routes to/from Walsall and Wolverhampton are now reporting in real time - e.g. the bus nodes on the map are now showing up green (real-time) - rather than grey (scheduled time).
Alas the same Arriva services are not reporting live in the NWM app. For example the times for the 70 or 76 services are still showing as scheduled and not real-time.
While the Arriva app can tell me where the bus is - alas the app can't (as yet) tell me why the bus was late. So, as a matter of interest, does anyone know why the (25th May) 13:50 No.76 service from Stafford lost 4 mins around Coven, then got stuck at Brinsford for 15mins? It arrived 21mins late into Wolverhampton. The return @ 15:00, dep 27 mins late, where the driver made good time, arriving in Stafford 16mins late @ 16:06.
