If purple is discussing the camera I think he is, it was £800,000 over a
year. That's 20-30 per day, which doesn't sound quite so dramatic! The
bus lane operates from 7-10 am and 4-7pm IIRC.


So roughly one offender every 15 minutes.


Traffic which does not wish to turn right tends to
avoid the queues by diving into the bus lane.


And then whinges when it gets snapped doing so, right?


Yup! Didddums...

So perhaps Mr purple can explain what the problem is?


I passed the area on a bus recently and think the bus lane opposite is
full-time so the contentious one might be too. I apologise if I
inadvertantly posted misinformation.

30 snaps a day might seemingly represent a lot of cash, but it's not
really much traffic, given the traffic flow, is it?
