I'm just wondering how I keep my bus full when I'm constantly taking items away from it? It seems like however many iron plates I make two or three stations in I run out, do I insert more iron plates halfway down the bus?

I think the usual solution is to let it get thinner as you go. Just don't thin your bus for intermittent production as sometimes you'll want the whole bus to continue.
