At 5:30am today according to the noticeboard in Vauxhall Station.. went
there a few times to take different buses.. some stops are far away from the
underground exit, e.g. 360 to E&C, some are close, e.g. 77A to Aldwych.

The bus stops outside M16 and St Georges Wharf are no longer in use, not
sure about the others.

Confusing at first, but you should get used to it after a while.. with more
exercise as a bonus!

I hadn't realised it only opened yesterday - we happened to drive past
at about 10.00 am (and again at about 11.00 pm) and it was in use, but
I'd no idea it was its very first day! And in the evening buses were
driving down the dedicated bus-lane in the middle of Vauxhall Bridge....
I shall have to explore.

Does this mean I can cycle from Nine Elms Lane to Albert Embankment
without having to fight my way through bus queues like I did on Friday
morning, then?

Buses should all be on the inner side of the gyratory as they access the
bus station - so hopefully yes.

Hooray! The proof will be in the pudding when I next go that way, probably
not until 15th/16th December, weather permitting.

I've only seen the roof when passing on a train, is it a future plan
to allow small aircraft to take off from it?

No, no, it's the *buses* that take off.... what I don't know, is who is
camping in the huge Winnebago just underneath the take-off ramp?
