Miracles do happen: the A1 inbound is on time at Bristol Bus Station at 7:03 AM. Perhaps the lack of a rear window on its Scania means it simply couldn't *see* a reason to be delayed in this glorious downpour.

The 74 inbound to Bristol Parkway Stn is, rather astonishingly, on time at 6:43 AM. Perhaps South Gloucestershire's roads haven't quite grasped the concept of Bristolian morning rush hour chaos yet.

The compact 16 inbound has, against its better judgement perhaps, arrived at New Station Road precisely on time at 6:23 AM. It’s only stop 7 in Frome Vale, so plenty of room for creative re-routing yet.

At the rather ambitious start of "morning rush hour", the 74 inbound is on time at Eden Grove, 6:03 AM. Passengers can enjoy this fleeting moment of punctuality before the 95% on-time network succumbs to its usual 12-minute average delay.

Route 73 outbound has managed to depart Hengrove Depot stop 4 minutes early at 5:43 AM. The electric Yutong U11DD is clearly keen to hit its 500km range before anyone even considers needing charging.

Early risers will be shocked to hear the m1 inbound at East Street is precisely on time at 5:23 AM. Such punctuality at this hour must surely be a glitch in the Matrix, or perhaps just a fluke before the inevitable afternoon chaos.

Your A1 inbound service to Bristol Bus Station is now 13 minutes behind schedule. Good job that Scania double-decker has extra comfort features.

Against all odds, Route 70 outbound is 3 minutes early at Toronto Road at 4:43 AM. This sudden burst of efficiency at an ungodly hour is sure to confuse the few hardy souls who brave Bristol's bus-shaped disappointments.

The Route 70 outbound is 4 minutes early at The Centre at 4:23 AM. This electric Yutong U11DD, capable of 500km, is clearly eager to get home before anyone considers needing it.

Here's a startling phenomenon for early risers (or late stumblers). The 49 outbound from The Centre is precisely on time at 4:03 AM, its biogas engine purring contentedly at stop 1 of 28.

The Scania Enviro400 MMC A1 inbound is inexplicably on time at The Centre stop at 3:43 AM. Its extra comfort features are probably wasted on passengers still questioning their life choices at this hour.

Astonishingly, the A1 outbound service from Bristol Bus Station is on time at 3:23 AM. Such early morning precision must mean traffic is non-existent, or perhaps the driver simply enjoys a challenge before dawn.

The A1 inbound has turned up 3 minutes early at Bristol Bus Station, a scandalous 3:03 AM arrival. It’s 11°C and overcast; even the bus is keen to get out of this miserable early morning.

The A1 inbound to Bristol Temple Meads is operating on time at 2:43 AM. This AirportFlyer, presumably carrying phantom passengers, managed to avoid the usual early morning chaos.

The A1 inbound to Bristol Bus Station reports on time at 2:23 AM. Its 'extra comfort' features are likely going unappreciated by passengers who are mostly asleep, braving the quiet streets of central Bristol.

Remarkably, the 24 outbound is actually on time at Langley Crescent at 2:03 AM. It has successfully navigated the Bedminster ward to reach its penultimate destination, perhaps unaware of the 21-minute average delays afflicting other routes.

Route 24 outbound is currently on time at Langley Crescent, Bedminster, at 1:43 AM. A minor miracle under broken clouds, perhaps this one forgot it was meant to be late.

The 48 inbound, a Volvo B9TL Wright Eclipse Gemini, is currently on time at The Centre at 1:23 AM. Its distinctive curved front doubtless helps it cut through the 13mph southerly wind.

The 76 inbound at Hengrove Park is 11 minutes behind schedule at 1:03 AM. While 96% of the network is supposedly on time, this vehicle upholds Bristol's reputation for punctual disappointment.

At 12:43 AM, the m1 outbound at Hengrove Park is 9 minutes behind schedule, proving its quiet biogas engine can still be late. One might assume its low emissions allow it to sneak past the timetable unnoticed.

The 42 outbound to Cherry Gardens, currently residing in South Gloucestershire at Court Road, has graciously decided to be 14 minutes late at 12:23 AM. Perhaps it's observing a minute's silence for the concept of punctuality.

Your 42 inbound at Atherston is upholding Bristol's grand tradition of bus failures, currently 15 minutes late at 12:03 AM. This double-decker disappointment is even exceeding the network's average delay.

The AirportFlyer A1 inbound to The Centre is currently 15 minutes behind at 11:43 PM, perhaps taking an unscheduled scenic detour. It seems even Bristol's express services occasionally prefer a more leisurely pace.

Good news for those at Bevington Close: the outbound 75 is only 11 minutes late, meaning more time to enjoy the mild 11°C evening. This minor delay extends your stay in South Gloucestershire, which, despite geographic quibbles, is practically Bristol when it comes to bus woes.

The 76 outbound service is precisely on schedule at South Bristol Skills Academy for its 11:03 PM departure. Passengers can enjoy charging on the advanced electric bus, assuming they're still awake to use it.
