No. All TFL bus lanes allow bikes as per the symbol. Money grabbing local councils that control certain roads, as evidenced by the 20MPH on most roads are able to control those roads and bus lanes, many do not allow PTWs into the bus lane. Although all the stats have proven that the incidence of motorcycle accidents and fatalities have fallen since the introduction of PTWs into bus lanes, these local councils put profit before lives and still ban us.
I'm fortunate that the only lanes I ride on are country lanes.... Welcome to the forum J, hope you stick around and buy a Blade next year
One reason why I would worry riding in London. I use every Bus in in Bristol and South west when I can and would most probably forget this on London
And yet only last week The City of Liverpool ( After trials ) have scrapped all bus lines siting that they hold traffic up and basically are a waste of time .
That's because he is "within" ( The Cheshire Set) and we all know they don't have Buses in Cheshire because .... ( No F***er works )
And there was me thinking that was the whole point of bus lanes. One thing I don't miss about living in Bristol is the council's ambition of f@@king up drivers by putting in bus lanes in ridiculous places, and kowtowing to the the utterly crap and expensive Worst Bus company.
