Looks like a speed-time graph.
What is this
All Stagecoach east Kent buses showing itView attachment 70156
The example shown includes the dead run from the depot in Dover along the mostly-dual carriageway A2 to the Wincheap park and ride site in Canterbury, so speeds of 50mph are entirely to be what is expected. As are the dizzy heights of 10kph (so 6.5mph) for the crawl into the middle of Canterbury.That's what it looks like, but how about this one? Unless it's in km/h rather than mph (even so 80kph would be higher than you might expect for a service bus)...

Note the Go Ahead companies currently seem to not be tracking on bustimes.org

There appears to have been a server outage/wipe today.
Mostly back now, except for First Bristol, First Kernow, Lothian and some of Stagecoach South West aren't showing at the moment....
I have tried reporting the duplicated for Arriva Midlands but I think it's all pending. Duplicates normally happen when updates are made to the tracking (note how some Oswestry routes now show).
In the past some McGill's buses have appeared on the First Glasgow listing. It was limited to where both operators appeared on the same route at different times of the day such as the 208. Not sure if that is what is happening with the McGill's and Citybus listing.Another odd anomoly is buses popping up under the wrong operator. Some Glasgow Citybus buses are (or were) showing up on the McGills fleet list. Two unrelated companies. Also some Diamond WM buses were showing up under the Hallmark fleetlist despite never being in service at Hallmark.

The whole point of all the money that was spent on rti is for situations like this where the timetable changes quicker than roadside displays can be changed. However either the design is poor (which is the most likely reason as most systems dont cope with surprises like Christmas) or the agencies involved have decided not to bother, despite how important public transport provision is being viewed as being.First West of England were on bustimes.org but seems to have turned off their tracking at present as stops were still showing normal timetable rti but now the la responsible for the rti has switched the system off and is displaying refer to timetables. Of course the displayed timetables are the normal ones. It's not rocket science to display emergency timetable in operation telephone ... or refer to weebsite...
Email that through to them. The Dev seems to be quite good at implementing suggestions.Couple of things, i which the tracker could have a filter so you can only view some companies, & not every company & i wish there was a filter to clear the bus stops when you scroll in for a closer look, as i find half of the time when i scroll up close, i'm clicking the bus stop instead of the vehicle i want to track.
First Huddersfield and First York seem to show up and disappear quite often so they're not very reliable on the page.First Yorkshire is a bit of a phenomenon.
First SY / WY never worked. However,
First West Yorkshire Limited is listed doesn't work, nor does First Leeds, First Halifax, First Bradford or First South Yorkshire (it's listed but only has a few buses listed from Bolton).
However, First Halifax, Calder Valley & Huddersfield and First York do work which is amazing. Esp. York as I love to get over there in summer. You know, days like today minus a pandemic.
