96. Blackfriars Station

The Longest lane is in the middle. Three lanes head towards the bridge, but the right hand one peels off to go down to the Embankment (where the bus is), whilst the left one becomes a bus lane.

97. Blackfriars Bridge

Crossing the Thames for a second time - the first was on the M4, and was also from north bank to south bank! Unless we are doing this in a bus, we must use the right hand lane

98. Blackfriars Bridge South side

The Longest lane is the middle right (lane 3). The bus lane disappears, then two lanes go into four at the crossing ahead. The Longest Lane is the middle right. Beyond the crossing the lane markings disappear again. The end is in sight!

Cycle superhighway, Blackfriars Bridge The north-south route has taken over the width of one vehicle lane on Blackfriars Bridge, which now sees more bicycles than motor vehicles in the morning rush hour. http://road.cc/content/news/191381-1200-cyclists-hour-using-new-cycle-superhighway

Blackfriars Bridge Cycle Lane (before) from bus

A view taken from a bus at the stop. Note that since none of the three bus routes using the bridge turn left, all buses leaving the stop have to cross the cycle lane to reach the straight-on lane. A bus lane starts at about the halfway point of the bridge). It was this manoeuvre that caused several accidents including a fatality.

Blackfriars Cycle Lane (after) taken from bus

Taken from a bus at the stop, after the changes. The bus lane has gone, and the cycle lane now starts half way across the bridge. It's still impossible to reach it without crossing left-turning traffic though.
