Bridge Street is a disaster for public transport, council should ban all cars and taxis from that area, force them to use alternate routes, yes that puts pressure elsewhere, but sometimes only one bus can get out in the stupidly short cycle, and the right turn off St. Mary's is often fouling the path.
Suggestions of X24 using Kyall Road and Hylton Road probably won't happen so expect big delays on that route
Its going to be a nightmare - massive bus delays unless they somehow work around the actual work to do "normal routes" but don't think that's possible due to junction set ups.
Hopefully the bus companies are told in advance (like 4 months) to get diversions sorted before they officially start work but known the council, it'll be a week before.........
