Gallery:Bus Lane
Pointless bit of bus lane in the heart of Edinburgh city centre. All service buses using Lothian Rd use the stop (where the picture is taken from), then turn right onto Princess St. It means as soon as buses leave the stop they need to get over to the right, and leave the bus lane empty (or for law breakers!)

The Crystal Palace once ran nearly the complete length of the road. Underneath is the Paxton Tunnel for the former Crystal Palace to London Bridge High Level railway. The only time I have ever seen this road quiet is around 7am on a Sunday.

The bus lane makes for a speedy passage into the town centre for public transport users whilst private vehicles queue on London Road. The viewpoint is opposite the college. The colourful apartments are at the junction with Queen's Road.
Another bus lane and that little store where you can buy anything apparently. I'll have a time warp holiday in 1964 please.

Originally uploaded to Coppermine on Dec 01, 2007 by murphaphNote how the bus stop area extends from one island to the next - it is (just) possible to get round a bus if it stops in the middle of the red area, but few dare to attempt it because it's difficult to see whether there is enough room at the far end.
Originally uploaded to Coppermine on Sep 10, 2005 by t1(M)Anyone else think this is wrong? Or at least harder to understand than necessary? 'Mon-Sun' takes too long for a driver to process - why not 'daily' (if that isn't the default anyway?)
