Just wanted inform you that there's quite a few buses at Preston either not tracking at all or tracking as something else. 

Kind Regards

Hi Simon, 

It's nice to see working next stop announcements on 23 Preston - Fulwood Asda appearing on B9TL/Streetdecks however I find the audio announcements are a tad quiet whilst the bus is moving so if possible it would be nice to have the audio fine tuned so it can be heard above the engine for those hard of hearing. 

Also it's great to see the driver shortage is finally sorted with less cancelled trips now, huge thumbs up!

Kind Regards

After seeing a post on Preston Bus own facebook page it appears they are selling the remaining 5 Volvo B5LHs:

40606 PR62TON
40607 PO62LNU
40608 PO62LNF

Could be this be due to the contract losses?

Hi Simon,

Just a quick question are there any plans to have buses in Preston tracked via the app?

Thanks

Stephen
