Not quite certain where to post this, as it covers multiple forms of public transport. North Highland were commissioned to produce a report, titled Local Transport Data Discovery, on local authorities opening up more transport data and making available as open data. The report says opening up...

Thank you for clarifying that. I was interested in how it might work in the wider sense. Never an easy situation. Sent from my SM-G925F using Tapatalk

My point was they spend so much time reporting things like this normally, even when they don't know if anyone has died, that I just expected a mention of it sooner on their News Channel and also more of a mention on their Five Live station. The fact I was expecting to hear more about it...

Does the fact that that occurred in Scotland make a difference? As Scottish law isn't the same as English law. Sent from my SM-G925F using Tapatalk

I agree with you totally. And as I yesterday my thoughts go out to all those involved. On a general point, if someone like a driver gets arrested, whilst the police determine what happened, do they get councilling? Sent from my SM-G925F using Tapatalk

On another news day they would have been down there much sooner even with nothing to go on. This suggests that usually they over cover events and maybe should stop doing so. Sent from my SM-G925F using Tapatalk

I was considering doing the same. They talk about news coverage views on a Friday night I think. There is definitely a 15 minute slot at some point for it on the News Channel. Someone else I spoke to thought it was disgusting that they didn't mention it for so long. Sent from my SM-G925F using...

You'd think what the readers share most or read most, might influence how much coverage the BBC devote to something. However I guess the BBC had planned lots of resources into the Trump coverage and didn't wish to change that. Whya would they have done had the Queen passed away? The wouldn't...

5 people died. Five Live just interviewed a Corydon MP. Sorry don't remember his name. LBC News channel also provided some updates too. Sent from my SM-G925F using Tapatalk

Not since I've been listening there wasn't but may be there was earlier. I see the driver has been arrested according to the live updates on BBC London but significantly there has been no mention of that point in the 1pm news on Five Live, although the news did mention it. They say at least 1...

My thoughts go out to those involved. Of course with the US election today, I'm expecting less coverage of this awful tragedy. Not much reporting of it on BBC Five Live. Sent from my SM-G925F using Tapatalk

I'm aware of that but the public timetable timings of them meant the 213 would have been a better bet. Not so that day. Sent from my SM-G925F using Tapatalk

Thanks I'd not head of that Web Site until now. For short journeys, sometimes it's quicker or almost as quick to walk than get the bus or the bus will only save you 3-5 minutes. Fine if you have a connection to make. Sent from my SM-G925F using Tapatalk

That's for the interesting reply. As I can't see beyond 30 minutes I couldn't see what my estimated arrival time would be at my destination so relied upon the off peak timings TfL provide online. I'd have preferred to use the real time estimate. I think the off peak estimate isn't any use for...

Thanks that's really interesting. I've worked out roughly how long on average some bus journeys should be but for new ones I rely on the figures they quote. The 213 is a high frequency bus, every 7-12 during the day, so is busy. The X26 only runs every half an hour. So I choose frequency over...

I'm doing a journey that is meant to take 43 minutes but it's looking increasing like it's going to take longer. I did read that there was a move to publish bus delay data. This would be useful. I had two choices. 213 or X26. 213 is more frequent but the X26 is faster 10 minutes faster. As a...

One also can't assume that those who didn't vote, were for strike action. Best solution in these cases is for people to vote and then there can be no ambiguity about their intentions.

It would seem there correction service can't correct incorrect journalism in URLs. It appears that the article has been updated but they cannot update the URL. As a journalist would then say, it is not known at what time this change occurred but we will bring you the latest information on this...

Perhaps they can't afford the additional readers or there is an argument over who pays for the readers so nothing is done or done for some time. I once worked somewhere with outsourced IT. We were supposed to be going to virtual Windows machines but the project over ran so we were still on...

Shouldn't staff have readers to check that people have paid? Surely that would work if they were not sure.
