You worded it fine. Did you try the change I told you to try?

Do you need 123456-bookings@??? to continue to go to user bookings?
Or are you eliminating that address form, and will all bookings mail
now be addressed as 123456-username-bookings@????

Either way, you need a router just like your existing one, only instead of:
local_parts = bookings
local_part_prefix = *-

you need
local_part_prefix = *-
local_part_suffix = -bookings

That leaves the username in the middle, which will be delivered to using
your LOCAL_DELIVERY transport.

_If_ you need to retain delivery to the bookings account for the old
address form, you need to keep your old router as well, and put the new
one first so that the old router doesn't match the new address form. If
you don't need to retain delivery to the bookings account, you can
replace the old router with the new one.

And yet, you continue to obfuscate your example needlessly with
@abc.abc. If you want further assistance, please stop doing that.
