Which is fine BUT the rail links to the city centre are both fairly poor ( only Brighton Station gets you anywhere near the centre ) and limited. The fact that you can't catch a train out much past midnight is ridiculous.

Given the PRIVATE bus company has the bus lanes built and paid for out of tax payers money it would seem reasonable that in return fares are kept at a low level. £4 is not low.

I've got to agree with this ! The council make £11m a year from parking in various forms and Elm Grove was meant to be their next golden goose. The locals rejected it. Now simply re-designing the VERY wide pavements to allow for both pedestrian and access would be cheap and simple but guess what...

But the Greens ARE anti-motorist - well certainly anti petrol motorist. I know you deny it, and that my views are on the Greens are clear to all who see signatures, but the Greens are keen to lower / prevent car use. That is a fact. Now, if you think that's a good or bad thing is certainly up...

Agreed. I guess what I was pointing out was that the Tories started the process and the Greens got it built. Labour did indeed support it.

The joys of having auto lights !

I'm sure the people who live on it would be over the moon given the huge congestion the first part has caused.

I completely agree BUT when there isn't this sort of light then I don't expect cyclists to go through a normal red light.

How on earth can jumping a red light ever be safe ?? It's against the law AND stupidly dangerous - as a cyclist found out to his cost yesterday in Hove.

And therein lies the issue - there are w@nker cyclists and w@nker drivers - both break the law and both should be punished.

Why is it "oh dear" ? - so, so, so many pro-cycle lane / cyclists keep claiming it is a small majority of cyclists that break the law and then challenge people to prove most cyclists do so. I see cyclists go through red lights, ride on the pavement, ride without lights when it's dark and ride...

No it's not but running a red light is dangerous for everyone. A car stopping in the cycle stop area isn't dangerous - just annoying.

Strangely it doesn't require a speadsheet to work this out ! No, I counted in my head and then marked down the two sets of numbers when stopped at a junction. I didn't even need a spreadsheet to work out the percentage. Think what you like, it is true and the only reason I did it was because I...

I drive into Brighton most mornings for work - for a week I thought I'd keep a note of all the cyclists I saw break traffic laws versus ones I saw that didn't. Not very scientific I know but 72% of the cyclists I saw / passed carried out some sort of illegal act. So yes, in my experiment, a...

Or, as I said, will avoid the city centre like the plague - and I know many people that do this already, myself included. In the last 3 years I've been into the city centre for pleasure ( as opposed for work ) no more than 3 times.

Is a fair point but what doing things like this doesn't do is get many drivers to switch to an alternative form of transport - instead many will continue despite the congestion thus pushing up local pollution and many will do what I do, don't go into the city centre at all. Instead I use the...

AND the GREENS.

Actually he's missing someone off his thank you list - the Tories started it and the Greens built it.
