I don't know your reasoning behind sending the bus up to the Gold Medal and back again as the roundabout just outside of Sainsburys could be feasibly used for turning the bus around. Instead of having the bus run the full length along Kingsway to Lobley Hill Road, it could be rerouted via Western Avenue back onto Saltwell Road South and Saltwell Road. This would more or less keep all the links already there and have the added advantage of providing a new-link between Saltwell Road and Team Valley Retail World.
The roundabout at Team Valley is a wee bit tight, twas the only reasoning tbh!
