having seen it for the first time last week, it doesn't look safe to me (it
is too easy for pedestrians to get too close to the buses, even if they
are only going at walking pace, and remember this is currently a
junction where bendi-buses turn).

Given that we don't have kerb-edge doors to protect passengers on the
streets of London, how is that different from any other light-controlled
crossing in London? Since all the traffic now stops for the pedestrian
phase, it should be safer than before.
