It will definitely save wasting time waiting for a bus that is not actually working that day.

As I mentioned earlier there's normally 5-10 vehicles where the tracker has stopped working, but are in service.

At the moment the list is
828, 835, 1765, 2002, 4556, 4569, 6860, 7522 & E026.

All these have been reported to the company that does our tracking equipment. any others not showing on BusTimes are currently dead for repair.

If anyone does see a bus in service other than those 9 that isn't on bustimes it is a new fault, so if it is posted I can report it

There are others that will show on the map with no details which also need reporting.
Recent transfers to WA & PN won't show route details until TfWM do their next update, but will show locations on the map.
X1 Branded 6842 on the 55 tonight isn't tracking on there. It was operating the 21:41 from Ward End towards City Centre.
Local Routes
94/95, 11A/11C, 28.

It's the journey number
What does the B number on the tickets stand for.
S94 J46 B120.

As they won't have 120 buses on the 94, so wander what it could mean?

It appears in the bottom left corner of the tickets above the web address.
The S94 J46 B120 are all together.

Thank you. Why was this question under Bustimes tracker map? That was why I couldn't see what was being referred to. That is just the ticket number

Thanks for the info.

I asked about it here, because the J journey number had been explained here, so I was wandering what the B one meant as well and wasn't sure where else to ask about it.

Some buses just don't track on there. Its like 4556 was in service on 15 but wasn't tracking

It's one of about 40 vehicle long term off road waiting repairs

Presumably 4913 is also off the road as that certainly hasn't been out on the 55 for a while and hasn't been tracking.

The tracker also shows some interesting interworking, such as the bus scheduled to operate journey 175 on the 55 then runs dead and is timetabled to do late night 14's.
