He also links to BBC London's transport correspondent Tom Edwards and
a piece about the scheme (one of many) on his Mind The Gap blog,
replete with embedded videos (and interviews) etc - haven't watched
any of them yet, but the freeze-frame on the first video appears to
show a hire bike recirculator arrangement with traction provided by a
tractor type arrangement as favoured by park keepers (or at least
'council park chiefs').

I spotted one of these in the wild on Friday evening, on Great Portland
Street:

Chatting to the guys unloading bikes from it, it seems that the Ford
Focuses may be a stop-gap measure until they can get more of the
electric vans delivered.

That figures. I saw one of those in Bellgrove St.

Bit of a rip off for some on Sundays when all docking stations are
full. Saw one guy on a 30 min. free hire trying to find an empty
station at Compton St. All stations were full. He was then directed to
Soho Sq. where all the stations were full again. I don't know where he
ended up returning his hire, but by then he'd have been well into
charging time and well away from his intended destination. CJB.
