Sure does, we even have larger PM boxes for the mods/admins, larger sigs for the Admins, not that there are many of them.

Anyway this is not on the thread topic.

ps. If you give me loads of money i will give you a larger sig. :D

If you can't be bothered to explain what the thread topic is without people reading a dozen documents you may find it derails....

So, Party balloons :D

Ok, have you got the insiders copy? You know, the one marked, TFL Eyes Only. The one that they dont want to get out as it would be totaly damaging to them.

You know it's going to be "We have made the decision not to open up bus lanes to bikers because we think everyone who lives within 100 miles of work should walk or cycle."

Haven't been able to get hold of the full report on the bus lane situation as it's still being finalised - but the news is basically that there hasn't been a significant improvement in safety terms on the routes where bikes have been allowed in bus lanes, and if anything it's slightly worse (in terms of performance when compared to other main roads in London).

This is unfortunate as in order to get bikes allowed into bus lanes it really needs to be shown to be supporting (or at least not damaging) efforts in key strategic transport policies - one of which is to reduce casualty figures. Also working against us are policies such as increasing cycling, for which m/cs in bus lanes are unlikely to have a positive impact.

On the positive side, the results are being deemed as 'inconclusive' and no decisions have been made so far. Next steps are for more analysis of the figures to be fed into a final report by the end of the year, and then finally a decision by the GLA - so there's still some hope!

MAG also have some details on their site:

2 years I've been specifically NOT having an accident on the A23 and for this!? Come on, own up who's been naughty and ruined it for everyone else? :smt075

That's what I was thinking could someone not have put up signs explaining don't have an accident just so we can all legally use bus lanes
