Information correct to 6 March 2010
If this date is much more than a week old you are probably looking at an archived version.

Click for a list of recent changes that have already taken place, or for a list of diversions (not necessarily complete).
New contracts will usually, but not always, mean new timetables, and often there will be other changes as well details when known. New buses will now always be low floor and wheelchair accessible.
In line with the routes and details pages, new timetables (where available) are now accessed by clicking on the route number. Some may be PDF files for which Adobe Reader is required.
Where a ? is placed in the Expected Date column, there is now some doubt whether the change will take place at all. All dates and other information on this page are provisional and liable to be amended at short notice. Note that night services are considered to be very early journeys on the following day's service, and hence the first few journeys of the revised service may actually operate on the previous evening.
Each time an item is added or amended, the current date (also printed at the foot of the page) will be added at the end of the text, in the format (DDMMYY). This can be used to help locating new information use your browser's search page facility to check each recent date. There is also a list of updates in the past 7 days.
All changes with even a vague date, such as vehicle type changes, have been assigned a nominal introduction date, which allows them to appear in a suitable place in the date index, rather than cluttering up the "undated" category. Only the month will be displayed in the list, as before.
Note: All pending changes are provisional and liable to be amended or cancelled without notice. Vehicle type changes are usually not tied to the exact date shown, and indeed are often phased in practice.
