Quote from: Bus_user_jay on March 05, 2024, 06:09:40 PMHow has 6985 ended up showing on 11/11A then?
If you didn't use vegweb and looked in person you'd see it's been nowhere near those routes.

I saw 2093 on the 11A in person and knew 6985 wasn't physically on there. What I wanted to know was why 6985 tracked on it 🙃

This is a bus enthusiast forum so why get irritated when bus enthusiasts ask questions (this one appears quite reasonable - I don't recall NXWM having had a bus travelling around reporting as another).

Bustimes is one of the most useful bits of software for bus passengers (and enthusiasts) ever invented - a couple of idiots who seem to pride themselves in referring to it by derogatory names and also bus enthusiasts as veg and the like is irritating beyond belief, and actually conflicts with the forum rules (which were placed there when a couple of other people years ago swallowed the authoritarian dictator potion and spent time moaning about other members and naming and shaming staff).

I'm sure the forum staff can deal with these things but @Jack these posts moaning about other members are very tiresome.

I couldn't agree more, if @Jack & others who feel the need to comment have nothing useful or helpful to say, don't bother posting at all! Winston

Are ticket machines easily interchangeable between buses which may account for the issue?

Perhaps but 6985 is a WB Bus and 2093 a PN Bus wouldn't PN swap there ticket machines from another PN Bus ie say a bus that hasn't been in service for a while whilst they fix 2093's old machine or remove a spare one from a withdrawn veichle which they could also put In 2093, could be an error with the GPS maybe programed wrong or 6985's GPS fancied a day of going to Walsall

It's been on the PB 33 all day, Bustimes correctly confirms this. It is currently in Perry Barr (at 18:32) heading towards Pheasey. At the time of your posting it was doing the 17:12 33 from Pheasey to City
