The other day I tidied up a road junction near where I live in Bristol, moving 
nodes and deleting a way with the aid of Bing imagery. I found it more 
problematic than I expected because of a bus route that went along the road - 
the deleted way seems to have confused things.

Here are the two ways, between which was the deleted way:

http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/4301896
http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/37354486

The two relations (one in each direction) look ok here:

http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/relation/273877
http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/relation/168190

But in JOSM there are now dozens of entries "forward=incomplete", "backward=incomplete", 
"forward_stop=incomplete".

1. I'd be very grateful if a bus route expert could check the above.
2. Is there a bus route animator anywhere that could visualize whether the 
route is ok?

When JOSM says they are incomplete, it just means those parts of the relation haven't been downloaded. So use the "Download members" option, and it will download all of them. You can then select the relation (double click on it in the list of the relations), which will highlight it on the map. Then you can check it, and see if it looks correct. I'm no bus route expert, but that section appears to be correct, as far as I can tell.

There is a relation analyzer, that can be helpful for finding gaps in relations. Though it doesn't show it clearly if it has separate parts with different roles, eg forward/backward. See http://ra.osmsurround.org/ and http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Relation_Analyzer

I don't know if there are any better tools for this.
