2) If you hit the crossing over St. George's Rd. at the wrong time there's a significant wait.
i saw that, I just skipped and went onto the main traffic light via the peds crossing and waited instead.
Even when that light on St. George's Road is green, they still have to wait for the light on London Road, which by the time traffic is released from the main traffic light, I can head toward London Road without stopping.

You mean the northbound section of Newington Butt?
Yup.

Might try this tomorrow.

Did this. Success - made it across quicker than waiting at the lights over St.George's Road. Good tip.

+1 I'm really starting to like the new E&C infrastructure too (my usual journey is going from Kennington to Newington Causeway), with two caveats.
1) Peds sometimes still wander out onto the cycle path behind the bus stops - but this is easily dealt with by not blasting through at full speed.
2) If you hit the crossing over St. George's Rd. at the wrong time there's a significant wait.
Overall, though, from a personal perspective I think it's an improvement.
