2071 isnt tracking on the 10/10A

2071 is tracking today.

So far this bus has worked trips 25, 34, 31, 40, 39, 48, 45, 54, 53, 62, 61, 70 and 69. The "current" trip being worked is N10A trip 82.

The problem is that the locations being reported are those that occurred sometime in the past. A possible reason why bustimes is showing nothing on their website.

It appears as if there is a bottleneck in the system somewhere between the tracker and the server storing the current location for this bus.

Tracking this bus over the last 30 mins, the time difference between actual time when the sample was taken and the time last recorded from the bus, is getting shorter and shorter. Down to 15 mins, from 45, as if the bus is catching up with itself.

So don't be alarmed if you see two trails of burning flames down Compton Road, and a flash of blinding light as the 2071 comes "back to the future"!

6973 stopped tracking on the 87 as it left Birmingham, on what Bustimes reckons was the 1716 departure.

@AIR surely you mean 4870? As that hasn't tracked in a while. 6870 is a BC Platinum which has been on the 23/24 this morning.

I presume it's already known, but none of the Hydrogen StreetDecks are tracking while in service on the 51. To keep to the rules of the thread, H1011 wasn't tracking when I caught it earlier.
