Drive around new southagate the day i came across a bus turning
point/terminus at Beaconsfield Road/ Oakleigh Road South Junction near
the the GNER Bridges

Looks very deserted and un used....what bus route used, it still has
buses only signs but private cars were parked in it

seems an odd place to terminate a route as beaconsfielsd road is
restricted width access

It was for short journeys on the 34. The industrial estate over the
railway bridge used to be a factory (yes, it actually made things -
telephone exchanges) complete with wood and metal working facilities!
I used to work there in the 1970's and lived in Enfield Town. Bus 123
took me to Palmers Green, and from there a 34 took me to New Southgate.
Around 8:00 am there were a couple of short journeys from Palmers
Green garage to the Standard Telephone Works.

I think there were some short workings at the end of the day, too, but
as far as I recall the timings were completely random!

I was made redundant in 1982, and since then have worked in Stevenage,
Letchworth and various offices in central London
