I think that there should be a contraflow bus lane
southbound along the entire length of Tottenham
Court Road, and all buses should be removed from
Gower Street/Bloomsbury Street. It's ridiculous that
this major shopping street should be served in one
direction and missed in the other.


ISTR that TfL and Camden have plans exactly along those lines.


Good, I wonder if this is because of my suggestion to TfL? Do you know if
TfL and Westminster are acting on my other suggestion for a northbound bus
lane in Baker Street?

Other plans exist for fiddling about with the direction
of Bloomsbury Way and the end of Theobalds Road
to provide a contra flow bus lane all along there thus
moving the 38 (and possibly 19 and 55) away from
Holborn Station in both directions.


That's silly. If anything, they should be looking to reroute those buses so
they serve Holborn tube in both directions.
