Are GNE's ticketer machines running Android, or are they the older version (Windows CE I believe).
Would be trivial for them to install some mapping software on them

Especially with roads with weight/road restrictions I know the usual 10A dead run avoids a road which I assume is deemed to be usafe for buses however would Riverside Depot inform them of this..

Already spotted an angel missing front street and taking the 50 route from arnison centre into town, today, and I've not even been paying attention.

And no idea what's happened here. I assume one of them is the broken down 25.

(05 Sep 2022, 11:17 am)Andreos1 If you look closely, you will see that it's not actually broken down. It has problems with its wing mirrors.That's a lot of broken wing mirrors *taps nose*
What you've got to remember, is whatever we actually see, whatever we actually witness - whether there's smoke billowing out the back, coolant bubbling out of the side, oil dribbling off the roof, a wheel falling off or whatever else - it's always a wing mirror that's actually causing the issue.

This caught me out on low fell when waiting for my cartridge. Had a few beers and never realised the arrival time of the bus on the app was in Grey i think rather than green with the satellite next to it.... and of course it never arrived which meant more beer for me in the gatesherad arms so not all bad that time!

Becoming more common place this sort of thing and very difficult to defend against - all about the controls and mitigations versus risk (risk meetings and maps are the worst) but since we have buses out this morning - that has to a point, clearly worked so good job all round!
