Bus Lane Assesment

Bus lane Assessment

Trade Bus Lane asks on the TLRN
No.	Bus lane location	Requested by	Possible	Commentary	Usable from
1	London Bridge NB	LTDA/LCDC	YES	Part time operation possible Time restricted excluding 16:00 – 21:00 exclusion due to impact on buses – will be monitored as part of a three month trial to see if full-time operation possible In the PM Peak Bus journey times increase by 6 mins 30 secs – 7 mins. 1,250 buses per direction per day with approx. 32,500 passengers per weekday per direction. Equates to between £391,700 to £421,862 in passenger dis-benefits (based on value of time and delay). Approx. 58% of all people travelling in vehicles across the bridge are on a bus. £2.9m / annum cost in additional buses if PM peak was included in operation Following completion of Tower Bridge Works	Post Tower Bridge works
2	Wandsworth Gyratory	LTDA	YES	Taxi access already allowed along Wandsworth High Street TfL will need to progress a safety audit for the use of this Ram St contraflow bus lane. Access also granted to new scheme bus lanes	4 weeks – subject to safety audit
3	Catford one way system	LTDA	YES	Taxi access can be granted to Catford Road WB and Rushey Green – TRO and signage update in progress	4 weeks
4	Southwark Tooley Street WB	LCDC	YES	TfL will need to progress a safety audit for the use of this contraflow bus lane	4 weeks – subject to safety audit
5	Shorter Street – Tower Hill	LTDA	Will model	This is likely to cause significant bus and general traffic delay in this area Detailed modelling would be needed to fully assess this; initial feasibility shows significant journey time impacts. This would further increase vehicle journey times on the Upper/Lower Thames Street/Embankment route; this road is already performing below acceptable levels.	TBC

Trade Bus Lane asks on Borough Roads
No.	Highway Authority	Bus lane location	Requested by	Capable of being supported by TfL	Commentary
6	WCC	Piccadilly eb bus lane 24h	LTDA	YES	TfL will support access to this bus lane if the taxi trade approaches the borough Parking and loading changes would need to be agreed with WCC
7	City of London	Bank Junction	LTDA	YES	At TfL’s request a second option is being considered which would allow taxis. We cannot commit further to this scheme until we have a full understanding of the assessment of each option
8	City of London	Byward Street WB – entry into Great Tower Street	LCDC	YES	TfL will support access to this bus lane if the taxi trade approaches the COL. A decision by CoL would be needed on access to Great Tower Street before this could be implemented
9	Camden	Tottenham Court Road	LTDA	Unlikely to be able to change Borough’s view	This has been challenged through a Judicial Review and refused
10	Camden	Theobalds Road/New Oxford St – wb contraflow	LTDA	Will model	Requires modelling but significant bus impact expected It would also be subject to a safety audit by Camden. Theobalds Road/New Oxford St is a London Borough of Camden contraflow road carrying 27 buses per hour. Outcome of modelling will be shared with the taxi trade once complete
11	WCC	Shaftesbury Avenue into Piccadilly Circus – contraflow	LTDA	Will model	Requires modelling but significant bus impact expected Shaftesbury Avenue’s 57m bus only contra flow lane is a Westminster City Council road, operating 24 hours. Piccadilly Circus is a key location on the network where signal timings are finely balanced. Changes to the demand for this bus lane will potentially impact all other approaches which service numerous bus routes. Outcome of modelling will be shared with the taxi trade once complete
Received last week
12	Camden	Euston underpass	LTDA	Will model	Detailed modelling would be needed to fully assess this Euston Road slip is a London Borough of Camden contra-flow road, which bypasses the Euston underpass and is presently bus and cycle only. (Following the Tottenham Court Road two-way project, it will become a general traffic lane) Outcome of modelling will be shared with the taxi trade once complete
13	WCC	Strand – right hand filter over Waterloo Bridge (thus avoiding Aldwych )	LCDC	Will model	Detailed modelling would be needed to fully assess this Incorporating taxis would mean a need to increase the green time and take time away from the main movements, causing significant delay to other routes with taxis, buses and general traffic. Outcome of modelling will be shared with the taxi trade once complete
