According to unofficial figures obtained from the council, the Bus Gate Cameras at Hillsborough have cut journey times by nearly 3 minutes in the morning peak.
The variation in tram journey times has also reduced significantly, making journey times not only quicker, but more reliable. The improvements have knock-on effects across the whole public transport network
In the Autumn & Winter, when the roads are busier, these journey time savings and reliability improvements are likely to be greater.
From a cyclists point of view, the camera have two major benefits: They are likely to encourage more people onto public transport, meaning fewer cars on the road and more room for cyclists; and the journey through Hillsborough has become a lot more pleasant, not being hassled by motorists who shouldn't have been there in the first place when attempting to negotiate tricky trackwork.
