Bristol among three First Bus areas with diversions as M5 services rank low

First Bus has told passengers in Bristol that Allison Road, Broomhill, will be closed on 25 September from 09:30 to 15:30, affecting services 1 and 36; some stops, including Sherwell Road and Wick Crescent, will not be served during the closure [1]. Separately, the Cotswold Journal reported that Frankley Services on the M5 has been ranked the UK's fifth-worst motorway stop in a Google review ranking ahead of October half-term travel [4]. Read together, the reports show road-travel issues are not limited to one region or one kind of road: a scheduled closure, emergency works, utility works and a low-ranked motorway service area have all been reported in the same late-September period [1][2][3][4].
