• I don't think there have been many fatalities in that area, at least not in recent years.

    One moment you're walking along, full of plans, hopefully reasonably happy, the next moment you're dead.

    It's so awful to contemplate that it's really hard not to try to inure yourself to it somehow.

  • When I heard that I thought there had been quite a few accidents in that area over the past few years. Possibly they stick out more as I pass through there most days. It's a poor junction for cycling with a cycle lane up on the left-hand side of the left-turn lane.

    It's also going to be one of the HS2 routes so I imagine there'll be a huge increase in construction vehicles going down there.
