As reported on this mornings BBC local TV news that the trial of allowing bikes to use bus lanes has been a success & has reduced accidents resulting in the decision that it will be become permanent :D
Just a pity Torbay, Exeter, etc don't follow suit :(

Couldn't find a link on the BBC site, but it's been reported here;-
