I've noticed there's a few buses that haven't tracked or haven't been spotted in a while. There's quite a few after looking on bus times (they could have their ticket machine swapped, but I thought I'd bring it up). Some examples include:
0408
1443
1888
1895
There will be other ones as well, but they were the ones I mainly spotted. If anyone spots any others, please add to the list, but does anyone perhaps know what the situation with any of them?

Another reason is with the 4G update , the machines are all breaking and journeys etc are not being recorded or tracked. I seem to have a machine a day not work , resulting in passengers having to be let on for free until the machine is rebooted, which, at the min, takes an age !

The bus was tracking till it reached Featherstone, then when he came to my stop, he was rebooting the machine and the guy had to let me on for free |

1006 1030 1031 1071 1444 1709 1934 1969 are some other intriguing examples out of use. A lot of the Minis tend to track as other buses or on SP WA, just in the last couple of weeks I've seen 1523 tracking as 1025 and 1010 tracking as 1903. 1030 has been mentioned already to be undergoing the final stages of repair, not sure about 1006 but I think that's got a few issues. As far as I'm aware 1444 broke down on 51s whilst out on loan to Selby and is being repaired. |

A fair few buses take a long time to update too due to the poor GPS system currently implemented, leading to them disappearing off the map for prolonged periods of time. 1470 is an example from the other week, was only updating every 20-30 mins which led to it disappearing from the map after 15 minutes of 'inactivity' until it tracked again. Normally they update every 2-3 mins. |

1030 back in use today according to Bus Times. Off the road for 10 months since March 2023. Must have been some smash.

Wonder what happened to 1475, I hope it's engine hasn't gone again, as it got a new engine last year I got told! Not one of the ones pencilled in to move to Liverpool either!

1006 1030 1031 1071 1444 1709 1934 1969 are some other intriguing examples out of use. Quoting my own post from 6-7 weeks ago, and 1031 is still not tracking: 1444 appears to be back in service only in the last couple of days. 1709 back in service today, assuming Bus Times is right. 1308 and 1312 have been out of use since early Feb. Wonder if they are withdrawn? 1529 not used since last December. 1701 out of action since August, similarly 1707 since end of Jan. |

Could be wrong but I'm sure someone mentioned 1312 was at Castleford for a short time? Only 2 that stands out for the most is 1895 (apparently its in Heckmondwike but heard nothing about it) and 1443 which apparently 1443 is at the back of Wakefield (hope it comes into service soon which 1444 returning). Wondering if there is any updates for these 2 |
