The City of London Corporation voted on Thursday 13th September to make the experiment at Bank Junction permanent. This means that only buses and cycles will be allowed to pass through the Bank Junction between 7am and 7pm.

London’s taxis will still not be allowed to use Bank Junction between these times further inconveniencing their fare paying passengers.

In a tweet Keith Bottomley stated The law only allowed to either revert back to how it was or make the experiment permanent. All options are on the table including disabled access and Black Cab Access.

Against TFL under multiple causes of action including its failure to regulate the statutory regime.
