The 3A bus seems to be going only around Greater Leys, not inside, now.

check bus stop local_ref on the ground. I think the "E" is from it being east-bound, and may be misleading. Makes you think it's part of the St Clements Street stop area's A, B and C.

Check bus stop local_refs on the ground for this one, plus the 2 down Cowley Road and also the 2 down Iffley Road named "The Plain". Do they have any real local area reference numbers on them? Those are the numbers or letters shown on that pole-top lollipop as seen at the big stop areas like Headington/Westgate/the JR.

This one won't, probably. It's only used by tour buses, and it perhaps doesn't even have a real sign or markings. NaPTAN knows about it though, and it's a part of the tourist bus route. It's a bit difficult to tell what's physically present while the Waynflete Annexe redevelopment boards and scaffolding are up, however.

The two on Cowley Road and Iffley Road just might have real local_refs.

X5 Bedford→Oxford bus route in both directions is broken here, presumably due to the road works.

https://bustimes.org/services/x5-bedford-milton-keynes seems to show the alternative route they're using right now.
