So everyone here is a “politico” now are they? You might like to take a look over your previous postings - as I have. For someone who doesn’t regard themselves as a politico you seem to take a remarkable interest in, and know a lot about Dennis Brown. I’ve noticed too, that you seem (unlike the other posters) to have one interest only… to attack the Lib Dems and Dennis Brown… makes me wonder just who is the politico here. I also can't help but notice that you use the council's terminology of "disused railway line". Funny that... most people call it the cycle track, cycle path, or, railway path. Not surprising really as it was the first dedicated cycleway in Britain… I see too that the Bristol A-Z labels the cycle path “cycle walkway”. As JulieAnn points out, given local feeling on the issue, for some odd reason best known to themselves (probably something to do with terminal stupidity) the mighty council have probably succeeded in choosing the line of greatest resistance… well, it’s their funeral. As you seem to have a thing about the Liberals, Social Democrats, Liberal Democrats, or whatever it is that they call themselves these days, I also wish it to be known that I am not, and never have been a member of any political party, ginger group, or any other bunch with megalomaniac aspirations over other people. My interests are those of a resident of Easton for the last 12 years, and of St. Pauls for many years before that... how about you? Bristoltravelplan.

Does this mean that the eventual plan is to take the busses all the way along to Bitton and rip the railway up and replace with the guided bus lanes?
