Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
People queue politely for a bus in Crouch End
Not at every bus stop but the main ones on the High Street have orderly queues. This used to be the standard social convention before. It's fair, efficient and polite yet elsewhere in Haringey standards have dropped. What is unique about Crouch End that means its inhabitants have remained civilised? What changed?

Really? To be honest, I've not noticed any difference nor experienced any particular problems either side of the railway.
Yes, queues are no longer orderly lines (were they ever?), but are loose huddles in the area around a bus stop. I rarely if ever catch a bus in the rush hour: this being the case, I never witness passengers being unable to board. I've long assumed this explains the relaxed queueing style. Is it very different in the rush hours?
Is the issue purely a relationship between passenger numbers and bus capacity at any given moment at any particulate location? Or are you suggesting there is another explanation?
