Missing bus working number
This observation identifies if the service is valid within the next 14 days, and when it is valid it contains a bus workings number.
Impacts
Bus workings number, known as ‘BlockNumber’ in TransXChange, is most frequently populated using running board information. It is a unique identifier (usually a simple number) that is used for all journeys an individual bus is scheduled to work.
This is important to enable cross journey predictions for passengers, meaning if a vehicle is running late on one journey, the subsequent journeys are likely to be delayed as well.
