Yes, it is ... showing the new airport bus that started running a couple of months back.   Looks smart, and a handful of passengers; let's hope they have a good summer season to get the service well established.   I picked up a leaflet at the bus station to have on hand for our hotel guests as this makes Bristol Airport a practical prospect from us by public transport.   5 p.m. - crowded bus station, and the information centre staff trying to serve everyone and get them out the door quickly so that they could shut up shop and go home too.  Shouldn't  the information centre be open during the peak hour form 5 to 6, rather than closing at the start of it?

Bath is correct, and near the new exit - looking up from the London side staircase.
