Couldnt see a request section, so i hope this is ok.

A service im missing is the ability to know when a bus is coming, particularly the night bus!

Has anyone seen an app that has the ability to track London buses using TFL's API, or is someone willing to knock up a simple app?

Many thanks.

Top man! (Woman?)

Bit crude but does the job. Just shows how my brain has been mushed by the app culture. A web page?! Wonders never cease.

Not really, as it doesnt show where a bus is in real time, just its scheduled time of arrival. Which if you know London buses, means nothing.

It does the same as the TFL website, probably uses the same data source as well. In terms of trackers I'm not aware of any.
