The one at the top of Kingsway, turning from High Holborn is quite
entertaining for a bendy, too - and that one's on the first route
to go bendy, whichever number it was (500?)

I use that from Holborn Circus to Waterloo on a regular basis (I
used the Greenway Nationals before the Citaros, too) and have
never seen one having a problem on that corner. Coming back from

if you take the back seat of a bendi.
I believe they take that route (through the Kingsway Underpass) only in
peak hours. Do you know the actual times for the evening peak?
