nor surprise, surprise, does there appear to be any link from their website.

It's funny watching the 2E in Hednesford, as it appears to be operated by a helicopter, the way it's flying around!

This is genuinely great though, if only there could be something similar for NX buses!

There is, just not public, I have the advantage with the NX one I can see fleetnumbers as well

It would make spotting easier ;-)

Green Bus have a similar tool, obviously not public. It goes to a ridiculous level of detail such as the longitude/latitude of the vehicle and even the gradient on which it is travelling!

That's lack of detail, not extra detail - the system  will start off with longitude and latitude and convert it to a geographical location.

Yes, each tracker is plotted on a map, you can click on it to view all the raw data

Traffilog?

I would have thought this level of data would be for an entry level system. More advanced systems will provide engine management data, real time fuel consumption data etc

Does anyone know why the Arriva services that appear in realtime in the Arriva app are only listed as Timetabled in the NWM app?

They come up as Timetabled on the app I've got as well, tried to use it in Liverpool when I was last up there but only timetables there as well. It's not a NX or WM specific app but only seems to have nxwm live times on, haven't tried it in London or anywhere else yet though

The NWM system is a 'Vix Horizons' system. I think Arriva use a different System. Some Rotala vehicles have the Vix Horizons equipment in and I believe that may be appearing on the NWM system in the near future
