Coaches on school contract work wait near East Finchley station before beginning their runs. Drivers on this work usually position their vehicles to a suitable holding point close to the start of their runs early in case of traffic problems. The drivers take a few minutes to drink a coffee, check their tachographs or read a paper before the daily noise of a bus load of school children descends upon them.
