It's open

As you will no doubt have realised a bus lane has been constructed on my route from work. today the cones were removed (i was not present at the time so am unaware as to whether this was with or without ceremony, i will keep my eyes on the local press for you) this simple (or elaborate as it may be) act transformed a sparsely trafficked left turn lane which busses had the right to, and did use to speed through traffic into a fully sign posted and red tarmaced bus lane which people wishing to turn left can use.

the driver chose not to use it.
