Christmas & New Year Timetable Data 2021
The Bus services around the Christmas and New Year period will often operate differently to normal weeks.
The data for use in services such as the Department for Transport Bus Open Data Service , Traveline, journey planners, real time systems and mobile phone apps all need to be updated to reflect the changed operation.
This advice deals with how to prepare data for the BODS service to ensure that it is correct for the Christmas and New Year 2021 holiday period.

Low Bridge Strike Paper
This paper brings together the findings of an RTIG research project carried out in 2021 into Low Bridge strikes.
This has been a problem for high-sided vehicles such as HGVs and buses for a long time and can be very costly - both in economic and human terms.
There was a focus on HGV bridge strikes around 2010-2012 arising from the huge damage being done to the rail network. Similarly, bus operators have understandably been focussing on the issue in light of the spate of very serious bus bridge strikes in 2020.
