The Transport for London Unified API provides a wide range of live vehicle and positional data. However, one crucial element it does not supply is vehicle running numbers. As this application is increasingly being used not only by enthusiasts but also within professional settings, it is important that this information is accurate and reliable. Incorrect data entered into the system could affect the day-to-day management of bus services.

To help ensure data quality, an authentication system has been introduced. Only authorised users can sign in to add or edit running numbers. Authorisation is limited to trusted individuals, typically those working in service performance or related operational environments where accuracy is essential. All other users can still view running numbers by enabling the relevant option, but they will not be able to modify them.

It is important to note that, even with these measures, live operations may lead to unavoidable changes such as vehicle swaps or mechanical issues, which can affect running numbers.

Enthusiasts and general users are still welcome to create an account, as further features may become available in the future. However, only approved contributors will be able to manage running number data.

You can sign up, log in, or return to the main application.
