Default 3 or more buses at a stop - what should happen?

This is a very good reason London should start showing the
destination to the rear, as this happens a lot with short journeys
and isn't on.

But if the "same route" bus wasn't the last in the queue it wouldn't help,
nor can the driver easily see if the bus ahead is full.

Which route do you experience that on?

(An aside Neil - the wonky quoting of the previous correspondent seen
above is how I currently see your postings - I don't think the issue is
at my end.)

Couldn't say off hand, but anything on Oxford St would be a start.

Sorry, I use an Android newsreader which sometimes misbehaves. Will
keep an eye on it.
