Timeline Realtime Bus Information

Cheshire East Council's Integrated Transport Service is proud to annouce the launch of the new "Timeline" pilot real time bus times service in partnership with ACIS, Arriva, Bowers, Bakerbus and East Cheshire NHS Trust running from 11th August 2009.

We are very keen to hear what you think of Timeline and are running a feedback competition during the pilot. To be in with a chance of winning a £25 Marks and Spencer voucher please Tell us what you think about Timeline and if you have any ideas for its future development (don't forget to include your email and home address).

What is RTI?

Real Time Information (RTI) gives up to the minute "real time" departure information on local bus services. You can see the time a particular service is expected to arrive at a bus stop, taking into account traffic conditions.

The information is displayed as "32 mins" for real time tracked journeys and the scheduled timetable time "15:30" is displayed for non real time tracked journeys.

The RTI system can be accessed either by viewing the RTI displays installed at Macclesfield General Hospital and Alderley Edge, London Road bus stops or via the internet at the Timeline Website.

What services are in the real time pilot?

The following bus services are taking part in the pilot:

Arriva 130 Macclesfield - Manchester Piccadilly

Bakerbus 130 Macclesfield - East Didsbury (Evenings)

Bowers 27, 27A, 27B Macclesfield - Knutsford with some journeys to Congleton.
