I was complaining about this lane in the Bad Cyclists thread the other day - when it was blocked by a lorry, cyclists were either riding on the pavement or going round the lorry on the far right of the roadway, effectively into oncoming traffic. Noone crossed to the left lane of the road.
Personally I quite like the lane, in that by the time I get there I've done the fast part of my commute and it's nice to have a slow 2 or 3 minutes before I get to the office. What really gets me is dickheads speeding down the lane overtaking everyone in that big queue when the road to the left is empty. If you want to go fast, go in the road!
tl;dr The cycle lane is for slow people
