Nice bit of irony there. When I used to drive to work around London a lot of
delays were caused by buses blocking the roads at bus stops because there
wasn't enough room for vehicles to pass if there was oncoming traffic.

Appallingly, that is still the case. When TfL was first set up,
Ken Livingstone and Derek Turner began widening pavements
at bus stops to ensure that no vehicles could pass the bus.
(Like so many of the anti-motor car tricks deployed by TfL, the
idea had been pioneered in Waltham Forest)
