M4 bus lane

[craigw]

Anyone know what the penalty is likely to be for driving along it.

I havent done it, just wondering if its worth treating it as a toll

I find it infuriating when I sit in it stationary for half an hour while 8 cabs each with 2 people in and a airline crew bus with 10 people on it go by whilst myself and the other 500 odd people queuing sit and wait.

If you were a minister returning in a cab from Heathrow you wouldn't be as hostile to the idea.

Yes, it's called a 'buslane', but hasn't got a single bus stop (how could it, it's on the fast lane!)
But it's for cabs really, obvious eh?

Didn't 2 Jags use it once when in a hurry?

[gshughes]

never really understood why cabs are classed as public transport, how is it any different to paying someone to drive you around in your own car ?

Its a bus lane so £50 fine if paid within 2 weeks or £100 if not.

Alternatively buy an old black cab, been thinking of doing that myself for some time.

I think it was Tony Bliar, Elected Dictator and Destroyer of British Culture - the man who looks likely to become what Hitler failed to become ... Life President of Europe!
