How is it on a wet n cold February evening when it's dark. Bet there only the hardcore like me n you. Which means a massive way to go for good modal share.

The Vauxhall cycle lane opened while it was still cold, and got fairly busy immediately - not like now, but I have a photo of 10+ cyclists queuing in the dark at the lights by Vauxhall station.
Most of the new infrastructure is well placed for short Station->Office commutes so it wouldn't surprise me if it gets reasonably well used all year.

Good . Would be a shame for it not to be used properly . Here's to CS2 getting an upgrade to the upgrade......

Yep - four of them in a stretch about 200 metres long - the platform type about 2-3m across. Two of them aren't too bad and they've put in a decently angled ramp on either side. The other two however feel near vertical and give you a right old bump up if you head over them at anything faster than a crawl.

Would you fault-report those for being non-sinusoidal, please? www.fixMyStreet.com perhaps.
Hang on, you work in London and don;t have an iPhone? I think I best report this to the London visa agency.

I used the new East West Superhighway CS3 today. Previously when I arrived at Tower Hill coming from Canary Wharf you were just spat out into heavy traffic and it was very difficult and dangerous to get to the other side if the City.
Despite the need for some improved road marking the junction now works and with very little delay I was on the new CS3 path. It was a massive improvement and saved me a lot of time. The biggest issue is pedestrians, stepping out without looking.

Ring the bell, call hello and try not to ride too close (I know that's easier said than done, what with how busy it seems already).
Oh the Leeds-Bradford one is a whole other scale of crap. It mainly seems to be one of the bad old cycle tracks which so many of us have worked to discourage, just made longer. Leeds and Bradford don't seem willing to take the same sort of firm line that London has - it seems they won't restrict side road turnings to make crossings safer, they won't align those crossings properly and most importantly, they won't reallocate enough carriageway width.

Can I suggest it's not for you, then? I have had commutes that needed to pass through the city (West London to Canary Wharf or Brick Lane) and there was no good option for getting through the city. I'm glad they have built a route for those commuters. The last km of a commute will always be slower, unless you are very lucky to have a fast route to the door of your office. The slow down through London nearly made cycling to CW impractical, except that other transport options were unreliable, so I stuck with it.
