Very special person with police escort on Lordship Lane..


Recommended Posts

A police RANGE ROVER flanked by 5 or 6 bikes has just come down Lordship Lane (literally about 60 seconds ago, past the old Grove pub). One of the bike escorts had a whistle and he was using this to stop the flow of traffic to allow the Range Rover and it's entourage through.


Any ideas who this could've been?!

If the Range Rover was a liveried Met vehicle, then it will have been the Special Escort Group (SEG) on a training run


They whizz ahead and dominate the junctions with furious whistling and hand signals


I think the idea is that the wheels of the principals vehicle do not stop rolling

Did the Whistler come out of the betting shop and direct him.

    • You can request for them to come and collect your full bins again https://forms.southwark.gov.uk/ShowForm.asp?fm_fid=1879 They usually come on whatever day your rubbish/recycling collection day is. If you aren't going to be in, leave them somewhere that they can find it. If you don't need replacements, just leave a note on the full ones that a replacement isn't needed.  They usually come quite early, so it's better to leave them outside if you can. 
    • Just wondering- what were they arrested for? If you remember 
    • Cyclists certainly do have a bit of a perception problem at the moment and when I cycle I see a lot of examples of arrogance and ignorance that gives all cyclists a bad name - it does seem that many cyclists have caught the entitlement bug many drivers seem to have.
    • But Spartacus didn't mention the significant amounts of land being used for car storage - that was most definitely you.   And I am afraid when you apply your same measure to other transport uses (like cycleways and cycle lanes - Malumbu is your stat on the 360 kms of cycle network cycleways or cycle lanes?) then it most definitely is relevant for the debate.   Should we assume then that if all this ULEZ money and government bailout money is being poured into TFL then the system is, financially at least, broken or is it a case that the money is being mis-spent (like the DV junction project)?
