I am not getting another 20/20A, 22/24, 208 or 265 into Durham until the roadworks end as the traffic is horrendous in this area at the moment.

I come in every morning via Elvet Bridge and the Leazers Bowl roundabout. Most buses are getting in 5 minutes early. I've plenty of colleagues that do the full run from Belmont/Gilesgate area, and they also reckon that it's a lot quieter than normal days. 

The only exception seems to be the day after they change the works layout over the bridge. For example they now have a lane either side, and it was a bit daft on Monday because of it.
