Apparently BODS went down for maintenance yesterday:

This kind of IT maintenance work should ideally be done overnight in my opinion, when less people are likely to be affected or inconvenienced.

There has been issues all week, I've been up in Newcastle, and both Go North East and Gateshead Central Taxis were either updating very infrequently, or dropping off the tracker altogether.

Stagecoach seemed to be less affected up there, possibly due to them not using Ticketer.

Tracking is down again, this time for all operators in the West Midlands. The only vehicles tracking are NX coaches.

Here we see a Portree-based Plaxton Panther making a visit to Birmingham - apparently its journey started in London so I suspect it's been thrown onto a Megabus duty

Nope, 54122 is currently parked in the depot at Portree. That's 50410, which is tracking as 54122 on Bustimes for some reason.

Still problems tracking , some operators showing and others not. And one operator has it's vehicles running at times in the future . . . . . . .

No Diamonds are tracking at the moment.

No NX buses are tracking at the moment.

No buses tracking only stagecoach buses in Coventry

[Danthebusman]

Seems to be no tracking for any operator other than Stagecoach and NCT, with Arriva, First and NX being some of the operators not tracking atm.

Tracker now working
