Thanks for engaging, but untried camera systems aren’t going to make the inaccessible, accessible. Nor deal with the chaos at stops. Here is the question:

“How will blind people travel independently to and from Portland Place by bus if the council were to install a floating bus stop there?”

Keith was very keen on scooters. I wonder if he will bring that to the party. Haha.

The Chartered Institute for Highways and Transport, the professional body of your highways engineers just uploaded a webinar course that recognises the problems of bus stop bypasses with a particular mention for bi-directional bike tracks.

In 2012 Peter Hendy suggested to pedestrianise Oxford Street two bus stations were needed, one at either end, but that would be unacceptable.

Worth reminding that of the great things Ken did, getting the buses to run on time was up there.

Serious cycling injuries will be near 1000 for 2024. That’s 50% higher than 2017. Buses are running at their slowest speeds since I bus records began with no prospect of recovering.

TfL can’t demonstrate any shift from cars to cycles in London. It’s just catabolising other sustainable modes.

It is a shame this wasn’t done in a more planned manner. It could have been.

Agree. Keeping the highway clear of obstruction has been a duty of local government for more than two hundred years. I don’t understand why they can’t do it.

Is that all it says to you? One of the dangers of the new cycling activism is their grasp of anything slightly complicated.

London cycling is not good at picking winners. Royal College Street was given an award. Now it’s on the most dangerous junction list. Go figure. Do you know who the expert was?
