I noticed that on Bus Times there are buses tracking on what don't appear to be services.

I presume they have some sort of meaning, but can anyone shed some light on them?

VAN
SHUT
TAXI
EMP

There's also 999 but I believe the just use that when they're running light?
SHUT is staff shuttle I think. Not sure what the others mean.

The rest are just different versions of Not In service as that's all they seem to do. Go back to the depot

EMP stands for Employee - i.e. lift to and from work
