[Full Route Visual] London Buses Route 310 to Golders Green From Stamford Hill

[@artrandy]

I've now caught up with this video after watching the GG to SH video, and am more convinced than ever that this is a service 'designed to fail'. Its a sop by the Mayor, to those that have demanded it, and when it proves to be a failure, it will be quietly discontinued and the petitioners for this service proven wrong. I don't use the service all the way to GG, so there may be 'peculiarities' at that end, as well as at FP. First, LRT says it stops at Finsbury Park / Blackstock Road, but unless Im getting my roads muddled up, it certainly doesn't stop in BS road. Your video sorts this one out incontrovertibly. Thank you. Tantalisingly, the bus crosses from Rock Street across the entry into FP bus, but doesn't enter or stop outside! The station layout would need to be altered, but why not? Its worth noting that the number 4 heading north manages to cut through the station. The 310 turns into Tollington Park and passes the exit of the bus station, again without stopping. It then passes the stand for the 210, which duplicates the service between there and GG, but the 310 doesn't stop. So, anyone waiting for a 210, which might not be ready to leave, will have to watch a 310 pass by, without any hope of catching it. Incredibly stupid. To make this service work, the 310 needs to be served by a bigger s/d bus, and stop in or immediately outside Finsbury Park bus station. That should be infinitely possible. However, I've just established that the biggest single decker operated by LRT or LT, seated 41 passengers and was designed in 1951. Now retired! The 310 could satisfy a specific need, I can see that, but to specifically exclude passengers accessing or exiting this service at Finsbury Park bus station, seems to be deliberate and I don't like that one bit............
