No U-turn on this disaster

Metroline LT34 turns into the new bus only U-turn across the A1 in Archway on route 390 to Notting Hill Gate.

 

The untangling of the Archway gyratory system for a few cyclists took a further step towards completion this week with the closure and relocation of the bus stand on Vorley Road to the new stands on the A1, all by local arrangement as of 12.30pm on Tuesday! Routes are not scheduled to stand here until early next year. Even spending only ten minutes here early on a Saturday showed how chaotic this bus U-turn will be.

 

Three 41s and a W5 all turned up on stand at the same time and completely exceeded the maximum stand space, blocking up the southbound A1 into Archway with this 390 stuck on the other side not able to go anywhere causing northbound disruptions to the A1! The driver of LT34 looks on with a wry smile at the chaos ahead!

 

As TfL say, "Every Journey Matters", or now "Keeping London Moving". It is hard to see how either of those apply to this scheme, unless you are on two wheels...
