The bus runs by the time on the ticket machine not your watch

Yep, which is what leads me to think it was set incorrectly as the time is adjusted each night

Was your time definetley correct?

It was 23:16 (radio controlled clock) as I walked out my house and I can see the bus stop within a few seconds of walking out the door. The 241 should pass at 23:19

2315 241 from Halesowen a no show (unless it somehow got from the bus station to my stop in under 90 seconds!)

It was 2091 and left Halesowen Bus Station at 23:15:05 (yes five seconds late), and arrived at the next timing point at Shenstone Avenue at 23:22:31 (1m31sec late). So your fault you missed it not NXWMs

I did not miss it as I was not intending to catch it (where would I be going at that time!), if I wanted to catch it I'd have gone to the stop much earlier knowing NXWM! It must have passed early then. Perhaps NX set their wayfarer time a little wrong yesterday with buses running early.

Your stop is not a timing point so cannot have passed 'early' and no NX's ticket machines were not wrong yesterday

Then something is wrong with your technology. To get from the bus station to my stop in under 2 minutes is not possible. No offence, but actually being there is more reliable than looking at data

The data I am looking at is not ticket machine data it is GPS data records the exact coordinates of a bus, yes your number 9 in the other thread was a couple of minutes early on Manor way, but 2091 was not

Is your data running on exact GMT (+1)? Can you tell me the exact time, in minutes and seconds, that it passed Manor Way/Cloister Drive? I'm not suggesting that you are incorrect, I am just intrigued by how I did not see it

It's not exactly NXWM, but last week I rode a London United Trident from Raynes Park to Kingston and the driver announced that we'd have to wait at the next stop for two minutes to take on the passengers from the bus behind, which was being turned short. At the stop he explained that the bus behind was an hour and a half late due to traffic light failure in Tooting.  It sort of puts things in perspective.  (No tooting in Tooting jokes, please.)

Yesterday a collapsed sewer on the Bristol Road in the morning peak meant it was taking all vehicles two hours to travel from Selly Oak to Bimringham City Centre, buses therefore arriving 1 hour 30 late, latest I have known any route for a long time

Stuharris 6360

@Matt According to the Network West Midlands all stop timetable, the bus should have arrived at your stop at 23:18, so thats 3 minutes although i feel that is a bit tight especially if the traffic lights by Macdonalds are against you.
Pensnett is my local garage. Favourite bus of all time is Fleetline 6360 (KON 360P).

Trident 4609

59's running in 4's and 5's at one point yesterday and a group of 4 59's today.

Saw two Tridents pass through Heath Town on WA89 within minutes of each other
