Bump. The Cat and Mutton Bridge car-free day happened. People seemed to enjoy the occasion. The market operated as normal. Volunteer stewards let the 394 buses through, and the bus drivers drove with great care and civility in the presence of pedestrians on the carriageway. One driver, in a City Sprint van (perhaps he had stolen it?), threw a wobbly and angrily chucked the barriers aside in order to maintain his accustomed short cut. Apart from that, no problem. and the event demonstrated what it was intended to demonstrate, ie that you can cut out this rat run without the sky falling in.
