In my experience, there's much more likely to be traffic lights or road
works at the head of the queue. Two of the worst junctions in these
parts are not even served by buses.

Buses make junctions even worse by either not being able to accelerate
quick enough to allow many vehicles behind to get through. On the idiotically
short green sequences in a lot of london it makes a difference.
