sounding much like they were saying :

That turn seems tight in a Routemaster, never mind a bendy or
full-size decker


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?)

They seem to manage to overhang the kerbs and scrape the barriers
on both sides simultaneously.


521.

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
Waterloo is fun, too - the underpass is like a fairground ride
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?
