Quote from: BlackCountryBusSpotter on June 01, 2025, 07:41:42 PMIsn't it now the 12, 12A, 13 and 13A
That's what I just said I was purely talking about the 13's not the 12's...

Quote from: Stu on June 01, 2025, 10:45:21 AMIt 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.
This appears to have been fixed now?

He must have thought that the 12/A was either the 127/8/9 (I will go back on topic now mods)

outer circus timetables have broken today and still not working but some late night trips are showing correctly suprisingly, probably because they had stayed the same since before june

BusTimes seems to have these issues more often, with BODS not updating twice within two weeks... (did it have these issues previously

I see not all the recent changes are showing on Bus Times yet, i.e. 997, 998, 936, 937 etc

They won't do, because in the West Midlands area, TfWM acts as the registration authority.

The outer circle timetables are missing again from the latest BODS data set (4th June)

I take it there's no "test system"?

Because they are jointly operated services, their timetables have been 'merged' within BusTimes, has been like this for a while.

The tracking for National Express buses has been proper glitchy over the last few days. Regularly only updating every 7 or 8 minutes and then it's dropped off altogether on a few occasions. Anyone know why this is happening?

A system question.
When a vehicle is listed as 'DRT' for the route number, does this mean Driver Route Training or something else?

Thks. It was 15007 working in Coventry that I spotted.
Presume then that it has been subbed out to the Coventry depot?
