According to the bustimes.org tracking service, 42892 has been returned to service and is on the 144 heading north, as I type !! -- -- (Or is it being driven along that route by a mechanic, but with a "live" ticket machine ??)

I've been looking at the tracking info / system a lot in recent days and either it is "losing vehicles" (can't see them) or a fair-few are breaking, broken, or "unavailable", -- -- 66695 apparently still not right (?), and frequently two StreetDecks and one trident unavailable -- --
when I went past Padmore Street yesterday, 33043 had moved from the scrap and store area to the workshop, so maybe it will make a come-back

Oh Dear ! - Sorry folks, I've just remembered it might be just the ticket machine last used in 42892, that the system saw -- IE: now in a different vehicle ??

Sorry, I've just driven past the patch, and 42892 is still parked with the "scrap", and 33043 has returned there too !!

The number of posts about incorrect vehicle identities suggests a serious flaw in the current tracking - that it appears ticket machines regularly appear to not be fully reprogrammed after being moved!

It would seem logical that management would have this as an important task when a change was made as they would want the data to be accurate given i presume the tracking is being used for more business related things than simply an enthusiasts tracking site
