Field notes
The page identifies its data sources: Bus Open Data Service and NaPTAN for UK material, with separate attributions for Jersey, Irish services, Aircoach, Irish Rail and OpenStreetMap. It says vehicle details are partly contributed by users, with submitted corrections checked before publication. Saved items can be kept across devices through a free email-link account, and alerts can also arrive by email; push notifications require adding the site to an iPhone home screen. The captured homepage displayed zero buses and diversions, so live activity was not established in this extract.
