Is the traffic in the Northern (Southbound only) section of Mare Street
*always* that bad in the middle of the day? Or was it caused by the RM
festivities? Or by something else?

No, it's always that bad! Just as bad this afternoon. Actually, slightly
worse because of a bendy bus having issues with the rear doors which
wouldn't close (don't know if someone used the emergency button to jump off)
and it was stuck at the Northern end of Mare Street with the driver opening
and closing all doors to try and get them to close. -eventually- they did..
Make me wonder - presumably there's an interlock which prevents the bus from
moving until the doors are closed? Long queue behind that bus though!

I "did" Victoria very briefly on
Thursday and stayed away on Friday as I'd seen what happened on the last
days of the 36 when things started to get a bit silly.

Victoria BS doesn't lend itself to this sort of thing, does it?

I didn't think the garage entrance would on Friday, but actually it did so
very well, thanks to the staff cordening off the sides for safe access.
