What's New in London Bus Pal

26.6.4

June 19, 2026

Stop closure messages from TfL no longer look like the stop is closed right now when the closure is actually scheduled for later - upcoming closures now clearly show their date and time. Prediction filters now stick: routes you've selected stay visible and easy to remove even when you're not near them, and they no longer vanish from the map during quiet periods when nothing is due.
