    What's the alternative? 23 hour access? Sunrise to sunset?

    Presume only while the trains are running.

    I was afraid of this happening... They've left us no alternative, we'll just have to go underground. Ride in the shadows... Or we could ride side by side with a carbon fibre car shape on top of us a disguise?
    Might prove tricky if we need to go separate ways though

    "During the debate on the issue at full council, Green councillor Alison Johnstone said: "This council seeks to provide good cycling routes within any major development. Being able to cross the A8 whilst travelling by bicycle at any time, day or night, would contribute to these goals."

    However, 38 councillors voted against Cllr Johnstone's motion after police raised concerns about it reducing the security of the station."

    That'll foil all those legions of bicycle bombers.
