Anyone else using the Boris bikes and finding the 'available spaces' data on the docks and website wildly inaccurate?
At 11:45 the website showed Drury LAne as having 12 free spaces. Get there in under 10 mins to find it full but indicating spaces in High Holborn & Gt Russell St. High Holborn full but still showing 12 free at Drury Lane. Eventually got in at Earnshaw St by arriving as another rider took a bike.
Same issue last week with Breams Buildings, Holborn and Hatton Garden all full but each showing the other 2 as having 6+ free spaces.
Variations of +/- 2 might be due to being 'beaten to it' but none of these docks are busy enough outside rush hour to gain/loose more than half a dozen bikes in minutes.
