Never had one turn there on me before.

It occurred to me that turning night buses short isn't the best of
ideas because of the personal safety issue in some parts of London.
Perhaps this should only be done (even if by not doing so it causes
delays) if the bus behind has actually caught up and passengers can be
transferred across.

Well now see its not un common to see 2 or 3 N29's running together some
nights. The problem is the 1st and last are showing as Wood Green and the
2nd as Enfield Town.

Bus 1 goes sailing past full
Bus 2 stops full - won't let anyone on
Bus 3 stops full - might let you on

All 3 steam off with buses 1 and 3 picking up all the people that 2 won't.

We end up all dumped at Wood Green with another 30 min's to wait.

At least its only Wood Green with at least 2 bus loads - not like some dark
city road where there's only 3 of you.

Ahh. You've not heard about the reports of automatic weapon fire in
Wood Green, then?

Well not for a month or so... But rather 50-60 of us get gunned down at the
bus stop then 3 of us down some dark city road where no one will talk for 4
hrs!

At least at Wood Green there might be some hysteria and someone to 'raise
the alarm'
