Every stop crossing recorded that day. Each mark runs from scheduled to actual time -- green = within 2 minutes, red/right = late, blue/left = early. ● outbound, ■ inbound. ✕ timetabled terminus departure -- no nearby mark likely means it didn't run.
Based on 550 timing-point readings recorded so far today, across all 30 stops.
Both directions and all tracked stops combined, one reading per day -- red = mean of crossings that ran late, blue = mean of crossings that ran early, green = share within ±2 min (right axis).
Ranked by avg delay over the last 28 days -- summed across the whole window (not an average of daily figures, so a quiet day doesn't count the same as a busy one). Avg delay spreads every late minute across all scheduled stops, not just the late ones, so it already reflects both how often a route runs late and how bad it is when it does -- a route that's late more often, or more severely, ranks lower even if its on-time% alone looks similar. "On-time" means within ±2 minutes of schedule, same as the green share on the chart above.
| Route | Avg delay | On-time | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 321 | 2.1 min | 39% |
| 2 | 303 | 3.1 min | 43% |
| 3 | 304 | 3.7 min | 38% |
| 4 | X2 | 6.2 min | 16% |
Each route's single most and least punctual scheduled working, by average arrival delay at its destination terminus over the last 28 days -- how close to schedule it gets there, not how punctually it left the other end. A working needs at least 4 matched days in that window to qualify (so a Sunday-only service, with only 4 Sundays in the window, can still make the list), which keeps a one-off blip from crowning a result.

Hello, I'm Michael, and welcome to Vale Bus.
This site does one thing: track every major bus route serving the Western Vale continually, measuring
each one's progress against the timetable, based on recorded BODS SIRI-VM data.
Over time, the delay dashboard will populate, and we'll also count up completely cancelled services.
If you have any suggestions, spot bugs, or would like any information please contact me via busguy@leapingwing.co.uk.
This is a homebrew service with no relationship to the operator. For more route information contact First Cymru directly.
ValeBus is clever but not infallible. We take no responsibility for missed buses or needlessly downed pints.
