I thought this bit sounded quite promising, it's been considered that not everyone is going to want to ride on the cycle path.

Considering additional improvements for cyclists who wish to remain on the carriageway such as, widening the carriageway northbound on the Elephant and Castle Link Road to allow for 4.5m bus lane to offer space for cyclists to overtake buses, and introducing a new cycle feeder lane on the approach to St George’s Road to offer better protection to cyclists approaching the junction

Antidotes in reply to @aggi

Yeah I saw that, I've given the plans a good read now, it's better if approaching from Camberwell but I approach from New Kent Rd every morning and head onto St Georges Rd.

I just have to get used to the idea that it's not going to take 4 seconds to cross the roundabout any more, because I suppose it wont be a roundabout.

Also as mentioned about three times in the report, these changes will increase travel times. Its quite obvious to see why.

My route looks like it will be on the carriage way from NKR to StGR as per normal traffic. At the end of StGR I have to turn left towards Westminster Bridge.

As long as I don't get forced into the cycle lane on StGR and have to cut left across 3 lanes of traffic up the road it will be fine.
