Buses will start later and finish earlier than normal, but this may be subject to change during the day.

Buses are also likely to be busier than normal, so passengers are advised to check the timetables carefully before they decide to travel.

Some services will be split in the city centre and will run in two sections, so a change of bus may be needed if travelling through from one side of the city to the other.

Services affected are: 2, 3, 4, 12, 13, 13A and 16.

Please see the special timetables here for full details of the stops served.
