Because it would save one bus, it's not difficult !

As already mentioned it saves 1 bus, also you don't tend to get many passengers past hamstead village usually

There's also the turning circle, so the bus can be turned safely.

The Green Lane turnaround is just as safe, the junction is wide enough for vehicles to do a whole turn.
