Default Headstop / Tailstop

If they are instructions as to where the bus
should stop relative to the sign,

They are.

I think not. I thought that the headstop and tailstop were the names given
to the stops at the ends of a route, but I can't remember which is which.

You thought wrong.

Headstop is where Routemaster stops with the cab next to the stop rather
than the platform.

Simple observation (like, um, spotting headstop signs
mid-route) will tell you this.
