Schedulo is a family of desktop apps for UK bus operators and planners. Build and register TransXChange timetables, plan the buses and drivers that run them, and keep every copy properly licensed. All of it works on your own PC, with no servers to run and no accounts to create.
Each Schedulo app does one job well and shares its work with the others, so a timetable registered in Schedulo TXC becomes the buses and duties in Schedulo Bus, and comes back again.
Version 0.5.6 · Windows and browser
Open, build, check and publish UK bus timetables in TransXChange 2.4 and 2.5, then see how they run with live punctuality from the Bus Open Data Service.
Version 1.0.7 · Windows
Open your timetables and Schedulo Bus builds the vehicle blocks and drivers' duties, checks every rule and saves the block numbers back to Schedulo TXC.
Version 0.2.0 · Windows
Every copy of Schedulo is unlocked with a signed, offline licence key. Keys are issued, tracked and withdrawn from one desktop app.

Your timetable stays the single source of truth. Schedulo Bus never edits journeys directly: the block numbers it plans travel back into the project through Schedulo TXC's "Bring back workings and duties", where they are checked before they are saved.
Build or import the services, route patterns, journeys and days of operation, and validate them. Save the project as an .ntsproj file.
Open the same project. Set running times, build the vehicle blocks, optimise them and cut the drivers' duties under your rules.
Save to the project and bring the workings and duties back. The block numbers reach the journeys, ready to export and publish.
Windows desktop apps, with no Schedulo server and no account to create. Your timetables and plans stay on your computer unless you choose to share them.
Validation and rule checks explain each problem and take you straight to the item concerned, instead of an error code.
Missing running times stay missing and are reported. Nothing is estimated unless you ask, and exports keep what you didn't change.
Share your work with colleagues by a code and let them in with View, Edit or Full access. Schedulo TXC sessions are end-to-end encrypted and peer to peer.
Schedulo TXC also comes as one HTML file that runs in a browser with a double-click, and collaborates with the desktop app.
Each copy is unlocked with a signed licence key that names the products it covers. No licence server, and no internet needed to keep working.
Build and change timetables quickly, see the effect straight away, and turn them into blocks and duties without retyping anything.
Send clean, schema-valid files that pass BODS checks first time, and get reminded before data expires.
Watch punctuality live, handle disruptions, plan the day's buses and drivers, and print timetables and duty cards.
Schedulo TXC, Schedulo Bus and the Licence Manager are available today. The rest of the family is planned, and every product will share the same look and the same licence system.

Leaflets for each app, to print or pass round the office.
Schedulo is a brand of Newey Transport Services. The same team designs and writes every app, answers your e-mails and issues your licence keys, so you always deal with the people who make the software.
Windows 10 or 11 (64-bit). Schedulo TXC also has a browser version for computers where you can't run the app. The internet is only needed for maps, NaPTAN and BODS downloads, live punctuality and sharing beyond the office.
Yes. Schedulo Bus opens Schedulo TXC's project files (.ntsproj) or TransXChange files, and saves its vehicle blocks and drivers' duties back into the project. Schedulo TXC's "Bring back workings and duties" then writes each journey's block number and duty into the TransXChange it exports.
E-mail Licence@schedulo.uk. We send you a key, or a licence file, for the product you need. Paste it in on first start and you're ready to go. Keys can run for a set time, to the end of the financial year, or be perpetual, and one key can cover several Schedulo products.
On your own computer. There's no Schedulo server and no account. When you work together, changes go straight between your computers: Schedulo TXC sessions are end-to-end encrypted, and Schedulo Bus is shared from the host's computer by a join code.
Yes. Schedulo TXC reads and writes standard TransXChange 2.4 and 2.5, checks exports against the official schema, and keeps everything it doesn't edit exactly as it was.
Of course. Ask for a demonstration through the form below and we'll arrange a time that suits you.
Ask for a demonstration, a trial or a licence key, or tell us what your operation needs. Every message goes to the right person at Newey Transport Services, and we reply by e-mail.
