First Eastern Counties 30964 tracking on the Hamstead 16?

Looking at the map tracker right now and I can see YJ51RAU tracking on the 16! Have Diamond or NX purchased this bus or is this just some sort of strange impossibility?

Probably just Diamond 30964 - YX63ZXK. As its consistently showing as being at the same location.
Local Routes
94/95, 11A/11C, 28.

V89MOA

It's just a bug that can happen with buses that share a fleetnumber, as 2206 says it will be YX63 ZXK. Seen it happen many times before with Diamond vehicles in Redditch.

Yep, it's happened with multiple other vehicles at Tividale too, which share fleet numbers with First Eastern Counties vehicles. I've also noticed it happening, but with the Diamond one tracking at the same time, in the same location.

Hopefully there will be a much better NXWM tracking system running in the near future

Will this one work on Android or still sponsored by Bill Gates?

Moving over to BODS?

Once NX can get their feed to correctly feed BODS, the London Vehicle finder team are going to do a West Midlands vehicle finder

Everybody. NX have had a couple of problems getting the feed into the Government BOD thing, but once it is running LVD are going to start work on it

Could be a good thing for drivers to see where there bus is on the route when there are problems or just in general to see where it is

London VF is brilliant if you haven't seen it. You can type a fleetnumber or registration number in and it tells you where that bus is, or the last time the tracker saw it.

Type a route number in and it tells you all the vehicles currently on that route along with those that have been on it, but now back in garage

Will this lead to the rest of NXWM tracking on bustimes.org too then, if all of the data will be available through BODS?

Just had a look at it and it looks really cool. Will NX launch a new bus tracking app once everything is working smoothly again?
