When the bendybuses were in use, every bus stop that they served was
lengthened to about 100 feet, even those in the middle of nowhere which
were only served by bendybuses at night (such as those at the northern
end of the N29 route). Have any bus stops been shortened since the
bendybuses were removed? Are they waiting until the roads are
re-tarmacked, or are they going to be 100 feet long for ever?

Who marks the Bus Stops in London? The local highway authority like in the
rest of the country or TfL?

Not sure but TfL recently consulted on the design standards for
accessible bus stops. The document will be on the TfL Consultation
hub. Aha -

Interesting that TfL still don't seem to be interested in Kassel kerbs.

Transport against London *is* the highway authority.

A corrupt situation.

Only on the red routes.

Eh?

Ridiculous comment, absent of any meaning.

That the operator/regulator of a particular class of transport has the
ability to elbow all other road-users aside, giving preference to its
own vehicles, is outrageous.

There is no-one with a brief for the needs of travellers in or one other
road-modes. Car-users, in particular, are treated abominably in London.

If this were a private company (Stagecoach, for instance) the usual
suspects would up on their hind legs braying of corruption.

Highway authorities should be kept quite separate from PT authorities,
as well as being given a clear duty to cater for all travellers and to
maximise capacity within their budget.

Hardly given the small proportion of the road network TfL actually
manage.

The boroughs have the lion's share.

Look at the last few pages of the document below - it lists out who is
responsible for what on the road network.

Have you tried driving (a car) along any of London's major arteries
recently?

That you cannot agree that the current situation is a corrupting process
simply means that you approve of it.

I do. I've read your explanation of your comments in your other post,
and I think it's utterly absurd and wrong-headed (your explanation, not
the situation).
