Not fully, only the 2/2A and 70 at the moment are tracking, as with the Shropshire depot, not all routes at Telford and Shrewsbury are tracking yet on it either as a note.
First Manchester appear to be showing on the tracker now

Potteries seems to be on and off over time
Warringtons Own Buses are now showing on the tracker.
Does anyone know why HTL services don't show up on this system? My understanding is that the Ticketer machines are rented from Merseytravel and, if this is correct, does that explain their absence?

Partly it will be to do with Merseytravel not making their feeds open to the public and giving the feeds to the right people (I say Merseytravel because it's their rented machines).
This may change slowly though as companies sort out their Open Data stuff as it seems that when you give out some of the OpenData feeds, it's very easy to active the tracking information.
I don't think the fact it's a rented machine is what is wrong, it's just HTL as a company haven't jumped on Open Data yet. They don't have long though. January 2021 is the deadline so we will have to sit back and wait a little bit on that.
Cumfybus have been on and off the tracker during that time though and they are in the same situation as HTL.
I see Bus Times have changed, Now you have to search by places, operators, services or full UK postcodes, I preferred it in Area and List order.
