% of Central London's roads that have segregated cycle lanes?

[slowmotion]

Also depends how you define "central" London. My guess would be "inside the Circle Line" but it's just a guess.

Inside the Circle Line is good.

There's lots of different tunnels under London. BT and the National Grid have a network of large tunnels under London as well - including one that was built for the Olympics. The London Transport Museum run tours through some of the transport tunnels.

There's also quite a number of buried streets as well, like Little Compton Street. London Walks do a number of walks that go along some of these hidden areas.

I was just googling that myself from the coffee shop, there seem to be many tunnels linking pubs!...result.

The figure of 25% had been flung about, connected with murky dealings from bus companies. They reckon 25% Wadjoo reckon?

This article reckons 3%..................

Not an opinion shared by the tour bus driver who followed me along Lower Thames Street peevishly beeping his horn yesterday evening.

I meet a ride buddy at the Queen street junction (just after this section) and notice a large number of drivers who swing off southwark bridge and try to drive up the superhighway...then reverse back.

To be fair I also watch a lot of pedestrians and cyclists getting used to it all whilst making the same mistakes over and over.

Company I work for built most of the National grid tunnels in central london.

there was a large tunnel built from the velodrome to aquatics ( there or thereabouts for the overhead lines to go into so the park wasn't blighted by them . the head houses are the brightly decorated buildings .

There are secure comms tunnels through the city from east to west. Company had to work in one on a project near moorgate. somebody forgot to inform the monitoring company and they ended up face to face with the Met Police armed response officers. That was an interesting half hour.

Dave Hill is really weird about cyclists. It's hard to explain. I think when his mum was pregnant with him she was startled by some cyclists or something. But you just know that "25%" load of rubbish will be repeated endlessly.

All those years of working with Noddy Holder have taken their toll.

Prof Begg is a non executive director of First Group and seems to have veered from being a supporter and spokesman for all forms of sustainable transport to a spokesman for an industry which would have us believe that only bus travel is "Green"..

Bus travel is green in the same way my arse is brown.

People travel by bus not because its better for the environment but because:

They are old
They are mad
as well as completely skint

People only travel by bus because they have no other option whatsoever. I would rather stick a wheel and some pedals to a Judas Cradle than get on a bus.

You are Maggie AICMFP

eh?

eh?

It is alleged that Margaret Thatcher, commonly known as Maggie, once said "A man who, beyond the age of 26, finds himself on a bus can count himself as a failure". I think the wise old elf was drawing a comparison between this and your previous post. BTW, what is a Judas Cradle?

 

[Dogtrousers]

I quite like travelling by bus in London. I'm especially good at getting on the wrong bus and going somewhere else.

Not night buses though. They are cack.

Search it on Google. I just did. Ouch.

...so you're the one who leaves the damp patches on bus seats?

I was sick on a night bus once. It was most unpleasant all round

I share your pain. Did it once on a tube and it wasn't a pretty sight.

 

[outlash]

I was on a tube once where everyone bar one started moving down the carriage, squashing in to one end, leaving one person being spectacularly sick up the far end

It wasn't pulling into Upton Park was it? I was quite drunk at the time and I don't remember much from the incident....
