Websites and apps that have a bus tracker that shows the reg number or fleet number of the vehicles.

I note that interestingly EYMS is now live but not Scarborough and District.

They are tracking on the new East Yorkshire website: https://www.eastyorkshirebuses.co.uk/services (and app)

Is there any indication when FEC Ipswich depot will appear in full? Nearly all vehicles only show part of a days work or overlap services

There's a handful of Arriva North West in Merseyside showing today....a few in Liverpool with one or two showing on Wirral, Southport & St Helens....

Bustimes.org seems to be down a lot recently, both main site & tracker, either slow loading up, or does not load the tacker just leaves the map blank, i've just got
Error 503 Backend fetch failed

 

[traction22]

I suspect its down to load. Try in an hour and it'll be reight. (and don't unnecessarily refresh as I suspect that may be a major issue for the owners).

 

[markymark2000]

I am not sure if they are actually coming up on the map but the history shows McGills is showing up sometimes as is Glasgow CityBus.

 

[HA08]

I am yet to have seen First Cymru on the map at all, any news on when this will appear?

 

[gka472l]

Arriva North West (including Arriva Buses Wales) has appeared in full in the last half hour....

 

[gka472l]

Arriva Yorkshire and North east have also appeared.....

 

[Volvo142]

Derby is starting to appear, with some vehicles showing on the 1, 2 and 5 families of routes.

 

[Andyh82]

Arriva Yorkshire and North east have also appeared.....

As has Yorkshire Tiger, although they all seem a bit flaky at the moment and aren’t appearing on the map

yes, Arriva North West certainly has appeared, then faded away and has now re-appeared for the third time, might just need to settle down, I think the mass Stagecoach appearance a couple of weeks back did the same....

Something I thought of earlier, but not sure if it had been brought up before, was that it might be handy to have a 'select operators' option on the "big map" to try and reduce the server load (and reduce the recurring errors)? There must be near to 10,000 vehicles tracking at once at peak times now which must be quite resource-intensive.

Yes, that would be a good idea if possible.....certainly the owners of the site have added bits to make it better like not being able to zoom out as much as previous, plus the edit function for vehicles is new....

The bus times map claims that Arriva Midlands 3103 and 3104 worked on the 22 today. This seems odd as they work the EMA Car Park shuttle. Can anyone confirm this?

 

[Bradley]

All of First Bristol, Bath, Wells, Weston Super Mare, Weymouth, Camborne routes have stopped tracking they were tracking earlier but now have stopped.

Quite amusing that for Stagecoach the tracker is still showing Stagecoach vehicles when Stagecoach vehicles are in the depot parked up for the night.

I think it's to do with the machines. When the ticket machine is on, it shows on the tracker. It feels like it is just the exact same tracking at the depot has just shown publically. Ticketer however, when someone clicks 'end trip' the bus disappears.

I'm pleased that Arriva North East is now tracking on bus times although there are a few problems.

For some reason, rather than north east, the entire fleet list is listed as Durham Country despite it tracking Northumbria vehicles too. If you click on Arriva Northumbria fleet list it just shows a very small number of buses which are missing from the Durham County list. Basically the list for Durham County should just be renamed North East to avoid confusion as it does show buses across the entire region.

Also having problems today where the tracker has not been updated since 10:30 this morning. This issue has happened twice this week.

That's brilliant - handy to know if a Stagecoach Oxford S8 to and from Wantage and Abingdon is a Gold E400 MMC!

Hi all. I'm new to this forum (about 5 minutes to be honest). Apologies if it's already been asked prior to my membership, do Firstbus not use the bus tracker?

Indeed, first are on bustimes.org.

WoE, Leicester, Worcester, Essex, Potteries, Kernow are some of the ones I know are tracked off the top of my head.

 

[Bradley]

First Dorset and First Hampshire track aswell.

 

[YSV-205]

Thanks folks. I've just had a look at First's Leicester, Worcester & Essex & saw some. Nothing around The Potteries though. Nothing around Leeds & Glasgow either.

Incidentally, NATIONAL/GB is no longer listed on the main site, but can be accessed at https://bustimes.org/regions/GB

That was an interesting move I thought as Megabus and NatEx times are on the 'National/GB' page. Has been like this for a few weeks though and it does confuse me.

Not sure whether this useful site for London buses has been mentioned...

https://traintimes.org.uk/map/london-buses/#73

I use it to check where my next buses are if I'm too tired to cycle from my office and it's late at night - and it does include Reg Nos.

 

[SeveerYeliab]

What is this
All Stagecoach east Kent buses showing it

 

[Edirim]

Average speed I would imagine...
