BusTimes.org - general discussion

I don't know what the server requirements are for this to run, but I'd assume that cheap shared hosting wouldn't suffice.

My hosting costs me £100 a year, and that runs my WMBU site, as well as a couple of others I look after. I'm happy to pay for that myself, no adverts!

Mine's a lot larger than yours, but costs close on £500 a year all in. Adverts bring in around £1,000

The Solihull-Rubery 49 has disappeared from the list of services on bustimes. Fortunately I can use google maps.

Tracking with the WB 49.

Please note that currently bustimes is using the old timetables (awaiting updates) although buses are tracking on their new routes. This means that buses that are actually probably on time are shown as running either late or early.

It looks like timetables are now correct on BusTimes, though bus stops on route maps aren't all yet updated.

I assume that buses on the 49 (YW) and X20 will be linked to the correct routes once they log on to their next scheduled journey.

Buses on the Acocks Green 11A are tracking on the Pensnett 11A

Did the pensnett route have to be called 11A out of all things

Well it was the 13 before the 12* services had to stupidly be renumbered and have a 13/13A/13B which is just completely silly.

Back before that it was the 313, which again was fine and everyone knew the numbers and understood it! But this is NX who love to change things!

It's a variant of the 11 service, so why not?

The route numbers were changed by TfWM who wanted to create simple to understand local networks.

I don't really think taking away the 127/128/129 back in 2018 and then having them as the 13/13A/13B causes simplicity but we will agree to disagree.

Isn't it now the 12, 12A, 13 and 13A

[Rachvince53]

The 12 was the 120 and I think the 12A was the 121. Think the 13 & 13A were the 128 and 129 but I'm not sure.

12 was the 120, 12A is a combination of the 120 & 121 (Oldbury - Dudley), the 13 was the 128, 13A is the 127 curtailed to Blackheath 127 and 13B was the 129.
