Just to add some pointless input - I love a ride on the N3 from Dulwich
to central London, it is better than a roller coaster ride on the top
deck! And you don't half get to where you want to go fast! More bus
routes should be like this....

Isn't there an emergency release lever by the rear doors?
If so, I would certainly have used it in those circumstances.

There was. I used it. The driver shouted at me that he was going to get
me arrested. I and all the other passengers got on the next bus that
came while the car driver phoned his solicitor.

Going off on a tangent... do night buses have speed limiters? On some
it certainly seems like they don't!

Night buses are just day buses with a different part of the destination
blind showing, so it will depend entirely on whether it's fitted to
that particular bus. Don't all London Buses have speed limiters now
anyway?

They're probably broken on the 3's vehicles, just like everything
else...

They've always been *governed* to about 46mph in the days of the RT and RM.
I don't know what they do now. I haven't driven a bus in London since 1999,
and that was for Arriva (formerly Kentish Bus, Dartford).
