I see over the last few days that traffic chaos has returned with traffic queues all the way down to beyond the railway line. I think the latest drop off area was meant to open by now but will be a few weeks late. When open will it actually make a difference to the congestion or will it make it even worse?

In principle 5 lanes will always be better than one particularly as the pedestrian crossings will have been removed but the first lane involves a hairpin bend that makes the existing entrance seem like a gentle curve. Will motorists, who are now familiar with a single lane be persuaded to miss out the first lane and to use use lanes 2, 3, 4 and 5?

With 5 lanes to choose from over a large area what lane will passengers being picked up be waiting by, as it will be difficult to spot arriving cars if they go to a different lane?

Can't help but think it will all end in tears, hopefully I will be wrong.
