The inbound 24 at Redcliff Hill, an iconic double-decker, is now 11 minutes late, perhaps contemplating the beauty of the 11:51 PM skyline. What’s a few extra minutes when you’re part of Bristol’s nocturnal charm?

The A1 inbound to Bristol Bus Station, 14 minutes late, is really embracing the 'Flyer' part of its AirportFlyer name by staying grounded. At least its 'extra comfort features' ensure a superior waiting experience.

Our iconic double-decker, the outbound 72, decided to be 3 minutes early at Landseer Avenue, Lockleaze, at 11:11 PM. It's almost as if it's overcompensating for the network's usual punctuality.

At The Centre stop, the inbound m1, a cutting-edge Scania CBG, arrived precisely on time. For a late-evening service, zero minutes of delay might almost suggest the biogas engine is working as intended.

Our whisper-quiet m1 inbound to UWE The Gardens is 15 minutes late. Perhaps it was too discreet to notice the clock this late evening.

Route 77 inbound arrived at Clifton Park precisely on time. Do alert the local news; this 10:11 PM event defies all expectation.

The Yutong U11DD inbound on the 76, with its impressive 500km range, just couldn't wait. It's now 4 minutes early at Brentry Roundabout stop, perhaps eager for an early night at Hengrove garage.

The inbound 75, boasting 500km of electric range, is just 4 minutes late at Highridge Green this 9:31 PM. After 49 of 50 stops, one might assume such advanced machinery would be almost perfectly on time.

That iconic Olympia livery on the inbound Route 1, 5 minutes late at The Venue, is surely pondering its precise South Glos coordinates. Perhaps its Wright Eclipse Gemini chassis is merely taking a moment to savour the evening air.

The X9 inbound to Bristol Bus Station, an electric Yutong U11DD, is 11 minutes late this evening. Apparently, even a bus with a 500km range and charging needs a moment of quiet contemplation.

Route 74 inbound is 13 minutes late at Hengrove Depot. Its Yutong U11DD, built for 500km, is clearly just conserving energy for future adventures.

The Route 73 inbound is 11 minutes late at Stokes Croft, a mere 19 stops into its journey. Clearly, our 500km-range Yutong U11DD is pacing itself for the grand finale.

Route 41 outbound is 17 minutes late at Grantham Road this 7:51 PM. One might expect an iconic Volvo B9TL double-decker to appreciate punctual finishes, even at stop 44 of 46.

The outbound Route 2 from Thornbury Bus Station is experiencing a modest 5-minute delay this evening. Evidently, some iconic double-deckers interpret "mostly punctual" rather broadly.

The U1 outbound from Bristol University North Village Transport Hub is 10 minutes late this evening. Someone has to deviate from the network's "mostly punctual" reputation, apparently.

The inbound 349 is 5 minutes late at Bristol Temple Meads this unremarkable 15Β°C evening. Clearly, the humidity wasn't quite to its liking.

The inbound 7, at The Portcullis, decided to grace South Gloucestershire 4 minutes early. Perhaps it's rushing to declare its true Bristolian allegiance.

The outbound Route 24 is 15 minutes late at Villiers Road. Clearly, even a state-of-the-art electric Yutong needs a moment to gather its charge.

The inbound X1 is 11 minutes late at Winterstoke Road, proving even a high-tech Yutong electric double-decker can embrace the Bristol afternoon rush. For 5:51 PM, β€˜mostly punctual’ across the network clearly doesn't apply to those with places to be.

05.11.2025 17:51 β€” πŸ‘ 0    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

Witness a rare phenomenon: the outbound 76, precisely on time at Redcliff Hill at 5:31 PM, defying afternoon rush hour norms. Passengers hoping to enjoy the Yutong's charging can start early for once.

Route 76 inbound, 5 minutes late at West Street. It seems even our Yutong U11DD electric double-decker enjoys pausing to truly savour the Bedminster rush hour.

The Route 19 inbound to Christchurch School, a full 12 minutes tardy, clearly blames its South Gloucestershire location for this slight departure from Bristol efficiency. Perhaps the 'benchmark' Enviro400 is taking a moment to reflect on its glorious design, rather than rushing

Amidst the afternoon rush, the outbound X39 from Bristol Bus Station has achieved the impossible: it's on time. It appears even a bus originating from Bath can occasionally honour a schedule.

The inbound 70, a marvel of electric engineering, is just 12 minutes behind schedule at Nine Tree Hill. All those kWh for a leisurely tour of the afternoon rush hour.

The inbound Route 16, 15 minutes late at Salisbury Avenue, is evidently making the most of afternoon rush hour. Our "mostly punctual" network clearly has a wonderfully fluid definition of 'on time'.

The outbound Route 24 at Queen Square is 12 minutes late; even a Yutong U11DD, designed for 500km, seems to be savouring Bristol's unique pace. Enjoy the afternoon rush hour; this state-of-the-art electric vehicle is simply savouring its extended, step-free pause.

The outbound Route 8, usually so keen, is 5 minutes tardy at Clifton Village. Clearly, even "mostly punctual" services struggle with this thrilling afternoon rush hour.

Route 24 inbound is 12 minutes late at Old Market Street, only stop 21 of 48. Perhaps its impressive electric range is simply extending its afternoon contemplative pause.

05.11.2025 14:51 β€” πŸ‘ 0    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

The inbound Route 24 at East Street is experiencing a modest 14-minute sabbatical, despite our Yutong U11DD's impressive 500km range capabilities. Plenty of time to ponder that charging .

Route 1 inbound has added 12 minutes to its schedule, currently lingering at the Brecon Road stop. Perhaps it's just savouring the memory of Sand Bay before facing the city.
