    CHANGES TO BUS SERVICE 672 Starting 6 January 2019 , the timetable of bus service 672 will be revised to improve punctuality by reflecting current traffic conditions. The road works near Temple Meads are having a significant impact on punctuality and they will not be completed for several months. Also, Clarence Road will be closed for up to 16 weeks for major road works in Spring 2019. Buses towards Bristol on service 672 will be re-routed to operate via Redcliff Hill and Redcliffe Way instead of Clarence Road and Temple Gate. The nearest bus stop for Temple Meads will be in Victoria Street at Temple Street. Buses from Bristol will continue to operate via Temple Gate and York Road.
