Stagecoach Cumbria & North Lancashire also showing now...in fact looking at the map, I think we can say nearly all Stagecoach fleets are showing as of today with a few very small exceptions (London doesn't appear but there are other places for that).

The Aberdeenshire, Insch and Buchan areas of Stagecoach North Scotland were finally showing in full for about 90 minutes last night. Although currently there appears to be some sort of outage as vehicles are disappearing once they go east of an invisible line!

Stagecoach Manchester isn't on there at the moment.

Edit: I lie! It is now. It wasn't the other day.

DanTrainMan185 Stagecoach Manchester is on the tracker I would upload a screenshot but I don’t know how to do it.

Probably because Stagecoach London will use TfL's iBus system instead of their own system.

Stagecoach Hastings & Eastbourne now traking. I wonder if it would be possible for the website to have the status of the bus like in Stagecoach south (eg,, 2 mins late etc)

This could be connected to the new stagecoach app - the beta version has a map with vehicle locations/timings on it.

(Or is this already known and I’m just late to respond!)

I believe that is the case.

#########################################

Something I've noticed is that as more Stagecoach vehicles appear on the map, the update interval gets longer. Around 6am this morning, vehicles were updated every 1-2 minutes but from around 7.30am onwards they were updating between every 4 and 7 minutes :(

This evening, Stagecoach South buses based at Henfield (all 4 or 5 of them!) are showing - they operate route 17 (Horsham - Brighton). Meanwhile Brighton & Hove have disappeared completely. Metrobus are mainly present, though the 430/435 in Redhill & Reigate have yet to make their debut.

18 where sorry?

NXWM's 50 in Birmingham can't be far behind.

First's 75/76 in Bristol is well in the 40s as well.

NXWMs 50 is nowhere near the 18 & 192! There’s 17 branded buses for it and with peak workings it’s approximately 20 buses. The 11A/C Outer Circle however are well into the fourties when combined, last I heard was 49ish but that was only a guess. That’s to be expected with it being amongst the longest urban bus routes, Coventry’s version just about takes that ‘award’ !

18 is the TfL route Euston - Sudbury I assume

London.

Sorry I thought that was obvious from saying the 192 was probably the highest outside London, but not as high as the 18.

I just assumed that because the 50 is such a high frequency route (similar to the 192) it would be similar. Clearly that's not the case.

The Outer Circle is mainly in the hands of 6111-6148; I know we can't really base a PVR on how many vehicles are branded/used for the route but if we're using that logic on the 50 then it must be 37.

The 18 according to London Bus Wiki is 44, along with the 29. Highest PVR is the 38 with 59, although I'm surprised the 25 doesn't have a particularly high one at only 32, considering how frequent it runs.

I thought that Coventry circle (360A/C) was withdrawn?

Going back to the tracker, I've noticed that you can add on the registrations of buses but only one at a time. There is a link to edit several vehicles at once but not the registrations. Still, an amazing work in progress so far!

It's returned since March, only as the 60 (clockwise) and the 61 (anticlockwise). It's not a continuous loop (services either turn back on themselves or interwork with another route at Arena Park), and only every other service (and none on Sundays) does the whole route beyond University of Warwick to Arena Park on the western side of the city.

Outer Circle is probably higher than that. They don't seem to have enough E400 MMC for it.
There are always lots of 46XX B7TL Gemini on there alongside the 61XX E400 MMC.

True.

Crikey. I do need to sample some Coventry buses. Was thinking of doing an 9A/13/21 triangle?

I assume you mean the 8A, and if so I'd do the 8A first to avoid spending too much time waiting around in Wood End. Personally, I reckon the most scenic/fun routes are the 9 (the Green Lane half), the 12X and 18A along Kenilworth Road, and the 7/X1 along Holyhead Road to Allesley. The University Hospital half of the 4 is also nice around Wyken if a double decker shows up. Bear in mind the network will change slightly in late September.

Apologies for going off topic. If there is more demand for Coventry bus talk another thread can be created..

Careful as the Coventry Network changes next month so some of the routes may not exist in their current guise

This morning neither Stagecoach West or Thamesdown are showing on the map. Seems a little intermittent since Stagecoach came online.

My friend found out from Buses Of Somerset’s area manager that Buses Of somerset will get the tracker in 6 weeks time so that should be October some time.

Does anyone know if a similar service is available for Malta? They have an app, but I can't see a way to see the fleet.

Does anyone know when First Glasgow will appear on the map for tracking as they only show up on the incomplete fleet list at the moment and also does anyone know when First Scotland East will get the trackers and track on the map.

I hasn't realised that any First Group operators were on the incomplete list. This is fantastic.
