I think the change may also have to do with congestion in the bus
station. Stop E at Euston is not in the best spot for services heading
south down Southampton Row, as the buses have to cross the buses
heading towards King's Cross. I think that it got especially bad after
the 59 was extended to King's Cross, as that was an extra route
getting in the way at the bus station.

The problem with the bus station is that the road where the 59 and 68
stop isn't wide enough for a bus to reach the stop if the ones waiting
haven't pulled right over. *The kerb and stop could do with taking
back about 3'. *That alone would improve flow massively.


And part of the reason for the buses not pulling right over if that
they only have a short distance after pulling off to get into the
right hand lane (often past a King's Cross bus in the left hand lane).
Things would be easier if the King's Cross buses used stop E and the
Holborn buses used the stops further from the lights.
