I've just seen that my name is removed on the bustimes website! Presumbly because 4817 is not tracking.

I have just taken E022 to Plaxtons for RTC repairs. 4864 is at Potts Engines for warranty repairs on an engine they fitted

I thought that might've been you in E022.

When did they replace the original engine?

When I look at Bustimes tracker map it's not showing any NXWM vehicles at all but it's showing all other local operators, been like it for about a week now.
Anybody help me to understand why please.

Already been explained in another thread...

Correct, there is nothing wrong with BusTimes and there is nothing they can do about this.

The issue is that NX West Midlands' data feed is currently showing as 'Inactive' in BODS:
https://data.bus-data.dft.gov.uk/avl/dataset/3338/

The reason for this I do not know, there will be some 'technical issue' somewhere which I am sure is being worked on.

So from what I understand the issue is on the BODS' end and it's something they need to sort out rather than it being anything to do with NXWM or bustimes.org.

Is there another bus website similar to bus times org to track buses nationally.
