That's a fair point, Michael, about when it's safe to cross. I only cross without the aid of the lights if crossing towards Sainsburys. The sight lines there are good enough that you can see if the road is clear enough to cross.

The bus lane is a bit of hotchpotch. It's broken up by the parking bays and other bits and bobs and the only bit that buses rally use is the actual pull-in at the stop.
