but the aldgate to bow doesn't go far enough for some at the moment. alledgedly it gets extended to Ilford as part of the legacy works but we shall see

I've used cs8. It's mostly crap apart from
When it goes along embankment it's quite good and lots of space has been given to cyclists but the rest of it is poor.

I was going to do what I did with cs7 and cs3 were I video the whole thing. But that has been set back due to my clavicle.

The bit along Grosvenor road and Millbank is great - they've given up an entire car lane for it so there's loads of room. Gets pretty busy in the mornings - I guess that's the point!

CS8 is finished? I had been on the embankment part previously (great!) so when I stumbled on it heading in on Armory Way (not my regular route) this morning, I followed it. I lost it twice, once I think there were just no road markings and the second time I must have missed a turn. Thus I assumed there was a lot more painting to do before it is finished.

I'll compare my gpx track with the route tonight and see where I went wrong.

Agree with Gaz, it's no better than CS7 - Embankment excluded - and the path around the Wandsworth Pretzel is a mess. Not many cyclists or buses on it between 7 and 8, so that's a blessing.

It takes a side road at a set of traffic lights, blink and you will miss it

I tried to follow it back from Wandsworth a week or so ago, I was going well until the trail went cold around the Wandsworth one way system - will be interested to know whether there is now clear signage or markings on the road.

As gaz says, it dives down a one way short-cut.
I only noticed when i was walking past, as when i cycle that particular part of the one way system i'm too busy car/lorry/bus spotting.
