Diamond Bus North West

RE: Diamond Bus North West
I rode a delayed Eclipse on route 575 at around 11.08 on Spring Bank Holiday. I could have missed out altogether due t insufficient information at the new Bolton Bus Station. It marks some buses as Live and others as Scheduled - with sometimes a subsequent bus Live but the next one only Scheduled. Anyway, at about 11.03 the Diamond 575 disappeared from the screen and I headed out to have a look around town (plus go to WH Smith to buy Buses and Today's Railways UK), only to spot the 575 pull into the Bus Station to let people off. I therefore headed back to the stop and jumped on a few minutes later.

While I realise the controllers can only forward information as received from drivers or operators, it is a pity that they as yet have no way of displaying that a bus is merely delayed.
