The 310 dosent even go into proper cobalt and basically skims the bottom of it. So they could make it into
They need more cross city services like Sunderland haha

Hope that idiot gets the sack

(03 Feb 2019, 1:50 pm)Dan wrote All three on a Private Hire, and yes, they came from this neck of the woods.
There's enough capacity for the number of children travelling, so if they were standing, that was out of choice. Presumably would have been seated on the journey up, and a bit more excitable on arrival into Edinburgh...

(04 Feb 2019, 5:38 pm)S813 FVK wrote Likewise with the Newcastle bound 26/27, and numerous other services that don't track. The services are still recognised when you click on the stop to view the times, though.
The live tracking feature is certainly handy to have, but is no use to anyone living on the routes that don't track.
(04 Feb 2019, 8:13 pm)Boggle wrote Another quirk I've found is that the 16:50 short X21 doesn't track for me, nor does the 16:05 93 which it runs off, although the 137 scholars run does. Curiously, neither the 93 or X21 runs exist on the timetable section for me either. The 16:20 and 17:20 short X21s are there as are all other 93s.The 15:24 X21 wasnt tracking for me today but it was showing on the stops as tracked. I've noticed there's been quite a few issues with the tracking lately, with the buses either having live tracking but now showing on the stops, or vice versa
