Ah, the joys of risking life and limb crossing the High Road in front of buses, there's nothing quite like it.
Excellent. I get on the 125 occasionally but it really came into it's own when I was going from Finchley to Chase Farm hospital everyday for a week. That journey took anything up to an hour and a half.
It's definitely all leafy, affluent suburbia. A pleasant enough place to live, though it does lack a bit of soul.
Still, that may change once the new development at Tally Ho corner is completed. It's called Tally Ho @N12 (nice original name, that) and this site can tell you more about it.
Of course, if everything goes to plan, we won't be living there by the time it opens so I may never know what it will do for the area.

Finchley and the 125 - not too far off my patch. But I could identify with the hair-raising parts of your journey - as this is the norm for the die-hard bus rider. You begin to become immune to it after a while. It amuses me to a smile when I see people "jump" when the branches wallop the windows - or when the bus driver is on a "mission" and comes within hair-breadth of swiping off parked car wing mirrors or colliding at roundabouts etc. However: there is a particular bus driver who I will always avoid if possible on Route 79: she is mad. I mean really mad. Everyone on the bus hangs on for dear life on her bus. And she has a real habit of giving other drivers on the road a piece of her mind if she doesn't get her way - or if people don't get out of her way.
Commuting by bus has it's fair share of thrills and spills ...

That's almost too much excitement for one bus trip!

That scene in the your picture of the route 125 bus you have at the top of the article looks very familiar: the building in the background with the cellular-phone masts on it looks like the ugly office-block called "Gateway House" - which I'm sure used to be the place that Demon Internet first started their operations in the early nineties - and I think that most of it is now occupied by the Inland Revenue: Her Majesty's Inspector of Taxes.

Seems Demon are still there.
And the Inland Revenue too.
I pay good money to both, regularly.
