I have heard that the bus lane is going to go straight through the Maingate Roundabout as shown on the map on the link below.

I'm confusing matters. I was on about the roundabout shown on the PDF you've put up. Reason I think it'll end in disaster is the peak time tailbacks going right back on to the roundabout over the A1, and causing further congestion there. I don't think the car traffic will reduce as part of these plans, so the bottleneck has to appear somewhere.
