TFL KERRRRRCHING!!!!

[2b1ask1]

From 13 September, bus lanes on Red Routes will start to operate 24 hours, seven days a week. Some parking bays will also be suspended to keep bus lanes clear.

If you drive your vehicle in a bus lane that has been converted to 24 hours, you could face a £130 fine. There are some exclusions so please remember to check the bus lane signs on your route.

This is to support a sustainable recovery from the pandemic by helping to:

• Make the roads safer for cyclists by providing more space away from the general traffic
• Keep the bus lanes clear so bus journey times are more reliable and consistent throughout the day, making it easier for bus passengers to follow the Government's advice to travel outside peak times where possible
• Enable bus passengers to plan their journey more accurately

Blue Badge parking facilities and existing access for motorcyclists, licensed London taxis and cyclists will continue.

These changes are being introduced as part of a trial that will last up to 18 months. Your feedback will be an important part of our evaluation. Visit our website for information on how you'll be able to share your experiences throughout the trial.

Find out more and check which roads will be affected.

Yours sincerely,

Claire Mann
Director of Bus Operations

My wife and I often used to drive into London on Sunday for a spot of “special” shopping but no more, congestion charge every day was the last straw. Have never really used the bus lanes as I have been caught out too often.
Can’t drive my classic Mustang into town now either without digging deeper into my pocket.
Right here right now they should be removing all such controls including parking charges to encourage people to visit.
