With mini buses being bigger than they were in the 90s it was harder getting the buses through there. Plus with the junction being tight and being surrounded by buildings its difficult to know when vehicles are coming the other way, so they often have to reverse etc. Mind I see vans going through this junction quite often, so maybe if GNE were to order some smaller mini buses (Such the silver Mercedes Sprinters they have on crew shuttles) then that might work better.
I looked at Adrian's suggestion and could have sworn that the cut was used in the distant past.
Couldn't remember 100% though. Glad you confirmed it did.
Get what you are saying about the turning and angles though. Not sure a Solo could get round that corner.
