And TfL leaflets about the hire scheme have started to appear in tube station leaflet racks. I picked one up this morning. Good stuff. I know in the grand scheme of things that it's not all that, that it's not some magic wand that;s going to solve all transport issues, that it'll suffer all manner of teething issues, that it'll get hyped mercilessly by Boris and Co, that it'll provide plentiful opportunities for generating bad press, and not just bad press but bad things that may (nay, will, at least in some cases) happen as a result, but nonetheless I find this a very interesting and exciting scheme, one that has quite a bit of potential to make good things happen rather beyond the narrow confines of the scheme itself. As I said upthread, there's a long overdue post that's been floating round my head about this scheme that I must get round to, well, posting sometime soon! That, plus my 'trip report' on the new countdown pedestrian crossing on Blackfriars Rd that I 'did' on the opening day (that's yesterday)! Oh, and various thoughts on the ELLX too... fx: sound of utl-ers furiously adding one "Mizter T" to their kill files lest they keel over from boredom! |
