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
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;-

Disappointed!!!
i think it's going to be very dangerous
the last thing i want when i'm licking bus windows
is to get knocked down by a real biker!!!!
