BEWARE - LONDON BUS LANES



Yeah I know how thrilled we are that we can use the bus lanes in London .BUT be warned !

A friend of mine works for those b*stards Lambeth Parking dealing with the sorry letters from you and me trying to get out of those parking and Camera tickets……….and believe me this is a MAJOR revenue stream for Lambeth council and others. He tells me that the council make a fortune from bikers who are using bus lanes and getting caught on cameras…….who then write in and state that the mayor of London has decreed that we can use Bus lanes……………They are told ………”no he hasn’t”……….bang ……. Fine to pay……….Pay up sucker !

Check the details but the lord Mayor has ONLY ALLOWED us TO USE BUS LANES IN RED ROUTES but NOT ALL BUS LANES ! !

The bus lanes open to bikers are all on red routes governed by TfL, but other bus lanes in the capital are operated by individual councils and can change designation on the same stretch of road, without bikers being aware.
