{"id":56,"title":"Contraflow Bus Lane","body":"The first contraflow bus lane in the UK was introduced in King's Road, Reading as a temporary measure when the road was made one-way (eastwards to Cemetery Junction) on 16 June 1968. The initial reason was to save the expense of rerouting the trolleybus, which was due to be scrapped on 3 November of that year. However the experiment proved so successful that it was made permanent for use by motor buses.","firstdate":"0000-00-00","published":"1","created_at":"2015-08-16 21:34:58","updated_at":"2015-08-16 21:34:58"}
