6973 currently not tracking on 87

What's wrong with 6812? I haven't seen it since November

It was in repair for RTC but has been used for parts to keep other buses on the road apparently it had an inspection a few weeks ago but there wasn't much to inspect on it. 

was it the door interlock preventing the bus from moving?

"back in my day"

It was the issue that Stu has mentioned the 1st issue where the doors attempt to close but carried on reopening with several attempts even the driver turned the bus completely off and put it back on but it was still having none of it. 

7530 on the X20 to Birmingham rear display blank not working 

4743 blue smoke coming out of the exhaust 

X8/8 running up to an hour late due to temporary traffic lights on the Birmingham New Road by the Mcdonald's & BP Petrol Station.

X8/8 running up to 20/30mins late today due to an accident this morning near the Aldi on Priory Road 

No it wasn't. It has a fuel leak, hasn't been moved for 10 days while it waits a new filler pipe.

Buses on the 2 today were 822, 869, 823, 821, 867, 865, 827 & 828. all are still on there except 822 which has been replaced by 4838

Oh my bad mixed it up with 869 then as 863 has the horrible grinding noise too. 

863 was not tracking on the 2/2A today

2093 on the PN 3 today
756 on the 12/13

1848 broken down on City Road Tividale, it's a door issue doors wouldn't close a common issue with these Scania Omnilinks

While I am not Tony, I can advise.

Basically by law, National Express Coaches do not have to provide AVL tracking data to 3rd parties unless they are registered with the traffic commissioner to carry local passengers. When National Express started to provide tracking via Bus Open Data, they sent data for all routes, including Dublin Express.

On 5th April, National Express decided to remove AVL/tracking data for services which they legally do not have to provide data for. As such, since 5th April, only a few services now track, which are all services which are registered with the Traffic Commissioner, or services which were registered with the traffic commissioner and NX has forgotten to remove the tracking.

In short, the current situation is - Coach doesn't track = NX legally does not have to provide the data to the public, and so has chosen not to.

Thank you for the response I understand fully now as to why they don't track 

7021 not tracking on the 3A today

759 on WB 5

I believe that all of the PN E400MMCs have now had the scrolling blinds at the front and the back they are still the same with just showing the final destination. I have gone past a few now on the Hagley Road and they have all got the same.
