It’s a very stupid and dangerous place to perform an overtake, especially in a bus. Blind bend, blind crest, solid white line, narrow bridge etc .
The worst part is there is a crossing that is usually red just after the bend and the buses always stop at the train station just after the crossing. Having to pull across the cycle lane.

This kind of overtake pisses me off so much...there are solid white lines down the middle of the the road that aren't meant to be crossed, because it's a stupid idea to overtake on the bend, yet the driver thinks that because it's a cyclist in front it's imperative to make the overtake as soon as possible regardless of the road markings. When the inevitable happens and they encounter a car coming the other way, they think fuck it let's squeeze the cyclist rather than abort the overtake.
