Symptoms: a lot of cancellations, combined with the app and PIS (Passenger Information System) displays at the stops struggling with accuracy of the deployed timetable vs the paper one. The bus stop displays showing times for buses when the bus itself isn't out on the route. Park and ride services and  hourly suburban seem to be spared the pain, 6/7 (that might be thought to be every 15 minutes but is actually every half hour, and at the city end of things, curtailed) is in a bit of a state and a choice of travel of last resort.

In other news, a many-week daytime closure of Milsom Street, for repairs, booked to start 7th February, is starting in March instead. (this has relevance to the buses as it's traffic-free during the day, save for the many bus routes that use it including the likes of Stagecoach's 620 from *The North*...)
