I think this is going to get a lot better when Midland Road is

at least having a contraflow cycle lane, of course, and i've no
idea if that will be the case.


One thing I know for sure is that Midland Road will be one-way
southbound (don't know if a contraflow cycle lane will be in place
though). They're also planning to make the Pancras Road stretch
between Euston Road and Goods Way one-way northbound, thereby
creating an anti-clockwise movement of traffic around London St.
Pancras International.


With a cycle contra-flow to get from Platforms 9-11 to Argyle Street? Do
the people drawing up these plans talk to any cyclists, let alone any of
them cycle themselves?
