You can't do much but if you can plan to minimise the effects, it helps. You would need an inspector to be at the oaks to advise passengers of any changes. There is no way you can avoid the oaks traffic. It's how you deal with it that makes the difference.

If you get delayed 20 minutes going around the oaks that is a big delay. If you can remove 2 bus stops (which have alternatives close by) to reduce the delay impact to 10 minutes. It's surely a bit of a no brainer. I'm not saying cancel a whole area. The colliseum has a bus stop and at the back of the cinema they are both close bus stops to cover the oaks bus stops.

At Christmas light switch on the other year, they closed the oaks bus stops and all buses stopped at the back of the cinema only. That was to reduce the delays caused by traffic.
