My Twickenham to Waterloo commute seems quiet at the moment traffic-wise? Anyone else noticed it?

    Not in the southerly end of things, Slutton to City is bad, the other morning I scalped a load of folks by getting off a walking!

    My gripe is that all traffic law enforcement has dissapeared from London, i'm sure i'm seeing more idiots doing stupid things and dicks lost in their mobile phones.
    If I know you, and I like you, you can borrow my bike box for £30 a week. PM for details.

    Was a little less traffic than usual this morning. Half term starts next week as well.

    Yep absolutely - just commented on it over on SCR thread. Twick-Sheen-H'smith Br-High St Ken has been oddly quiet for the last fortnight.
    Maybe it's just because there aren't any major roadworks / closures anywhere in or around the area for the first time in about five years?

    It was quite bad after NY, but I agree - seems to have cleared up in the last 10 days or so. Next week should be great!

    Yeah there was the usual back-to-school shock, and that snarl up with the temp lights in Sheen, but it's felt like midsummer recently. Trafficwise that is :?

    Private schools are likely doing a 2 week half term..

    Not this time- its a shorter one with Easter where it is. I know this from personal experience!

    Maybe different in London, but private schools with borders rarely have a half term at all.....

    Tempted fate - it was bloody abysmal last night.
