The Route 39 outbound, departing Paintworks at 5:50 AM, is running precisely on time. Its Falkirk-built Enviro400 is clearly unfazed by the 10°C pre-dawn chill.

The 73 outbound at Bristol Temple Meads has managed to be on time at 5:30 AM, a truly baffling turn of events. This rare punctuality contributes to the network's 93% on-time figure, God bless its optimism.

Your state-of-the-art electric Yutong U11DD on the 75 inbound from Thornbury Bus Station is a bewildering 3 minutes early at 5:10 AM. Even advanced battery tech and ports can't guarantee a proper Bristol-style delay.

Good morning to the A1 inbound, currently 9 minutes late at Queen Square this miserable 4:50 AM. Its "extra comfort features" will be invaluable for those enduring the 6°C 'feels like' temperature.

The A3 inbound at Weston-super-Mare Bus Station is a surprisingly prompt 4 minutes early at 4:30 AM. For a route serving Bristol Airport, one might have expected it to savour every fleeting moment of its brief escape.

The A3 outbound at Station Road, Weston-super-Mare, is defying expectations by running precisely on schedule at 4:10 AM. One might almost suspect the Essex livery is granting it a temporary immunity from typical local delays.

The A3 inbound is, against all odds, on time at Congresbury Bridge, 3:50 AM. Perhaps this Enviro200 MMC, a model that dabbles in autonomous trials, is simply following its own programmed destiny.

Witness a rare occurrence: the A3 inbound is on time at Weston-super-Mare Bus Station at 3:30 AM, contributing to a surprisingly 100% punctual network. Such unprecedented efficiency at this ungodly hour is almost concerning.

Astonishingly, the A3 outbound is arriving precisely on time at Millier Road at 3:10 AM, likely aided by the vast emptiness of the network. An AirportFlyer bus proving punctual is almost enough to make one forget the usual chaos, especially when 67% of services are 'on time' in

The A3 inbound service at Millier Road, Weston-super-Mare, is defying expectations by being on time at 2:50 AM. At least it's only 10°C (feels like 7°C), which is practically balmy for this hour in the South West.

Your A3 inbound, an ADL Enviro200 MMC in misplaced Essex livery, is precisely on time at Brockley Stores at 2:30 AM. Even in the light rain, it appears to be performing its duty with grim determination.

Route 1 outbound has, against all conventional wisdom, arrived precisely on time at Broad Weir, 2:10 AM. This early morning anomaly suggests the system might be having a lie-in too.

Behold, the Y1 outbound is on time at Blaisdon stop at 1:50 AM, proving that even a Bristol bus can manage a miracle in the dead of night. This unexpected punctuality is almost as jarring as a polite queue.

The Route 24, outbound, has achieved the dizzying heights of being 3 minutes early at Langley Crescent. One might wonder if the driver simply decided 1:30 AM was far too late to be out.

The Route 3 outbound ADL Enviro400 MMC double-decker from Baldwin Street is, rather unsettlingly, on schedule at 12:50 AM. Its 'sleeker look' is no doubt a great comfort to the nocturnal creatures and solitary souls aboard.

Hold the front page: The 44 inbound to The Centre has somehow arrived on time for its 12:30 AM slot. Such punctuality is almost suspicious, especially when most of its brethren are still enjoying their customary 12-minute lie-in.

The T1 outbound from Broadmead is 11 minutes late at 12:10 AM, perfectly illustrating why a third of Bristol's buses are delayed. At least it's consistently disappointing, even in the wee hours.

Your outbound m1 at Parson Street Stn is now 14 minutes late at 11:50 PM, demonstrating its commitment to the scenic route home. With the radiator moved to eliminate the rear window, at least you can't see the time slipping away behind you.

The Route 1 outbound from The Horsefair is running 15 minutes late at 11:30 PM. Just as well it's 10°C with a brisk wind; nothing quite enhances the Bristol bus experience like a good, protracted wait in the chill.

Miraculously, the X4 inbound service is on time at Gasworks Lane for 11:10 PM, a rare treat indeed. One might assume fewer obstacles at this late hour contribute to such uncharacteristic promptness.

Against the odds, the inbound 24 at Shaldon Road is actually on time at 10:50 PM. This rare display of punctuality defies the network's usual late evening performance.

The Scania N280UD (South Glos Lynx livery) for the Route 4 inbound is arriving at Thornbury Bus Station precisely at 10:30 PM. Its quiet, low-emission ride means you can enjoy the silence of South Gloucestershire before the usual city centre chaos.
