It’s all very well for Michael Benson to call for the abandonment of the A259 bus lanes, but I can assure him thousands of bus passengers who have seen their journey times reduce would not agree with him. It wouldn’t help Mr Benson’s peak hour journey time if the aforementioned bus users switched back to using their cars! Our monitoring shows morning queuing time for motorists has not worsened.
