Not just for this route, but for all of D&G's routes. Not only these, but the same happened to all Chaserider routes.

This isn't the first time that this has happened this week. The exact same thing occurred, on both D&G and Chaserider fleets, overnight on Monday night.

I first posted about this issue just over a month ago. Since then, I make it that both fleets have had an 'overnight removal' of Bustimes timing columns on at least five occasions now. Strange, that - something to hide, by any chance?

It seems to be an issue where the timetable dataset is updated (in this case, the dataset was updated on the 4th Sept and bustimes refreshes the data normally the next day after the dataset is updated). As the dataset is updated, it doesn't go back and link the tracking trip to the timetable trip for any trips logged prior to the data refresh (if that makes sense. Not sure if I have explained it well)

To give this example,
the dataset was updated on the 4th Sept. The new data was probably loaded onto bustimes on the 5th Sept. Any journeys logged prior to the 5th Sept the trips are not matched.
