How these are found

Every night StopToStop reads the timetables the bus companies publish (the Department for Transport's Bus Open Data Service) and compares each route's buses, day by day, for the next nine weeks, and with the night before. A change is listed when a route's number of buses or its times change from a date and stay changed: bank holidays, Christmas and school holidays aren't changes. "Ending" means no buses are timetabled after that date while the company's other routes go on: the route may be withdrawn, or its next timetable not published yet. Bus companies can change their plans, so check with the operator before you rely on a change.
