I find it ridiculous that the initial cost of removing the M4 bus lane is going to be £409,000 only for it to be reinstated for the 2012 Olympics which will again cost more money.
I know the article is from the Daily Fail.

The first move towards the M4 Bus Lane's demise will begin on November 8, 2010 when an 'Experimental Order' under Section 9 of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 will be made suspending the M4 Bus Lane from December 24 2010 for 18 months.

The 'Experimental Order' will expire in June 2012 before Olympic Delivery Agency(ODA) begins its traffic management measures on the stretch of the M4 from Junction 1 to 7 which has been designated as part of the Olympic Route Network as a VIP ‘Games Lane’.
Ministers expect sufficient data should be collected during 2011 to support the permanent removal of the bus lane , which will be done via a Revocation Order.
The cost of initial removal of the M4 bus lane is estimated at £409,000.
However this figure excludes the cost of its reinstatement for the period of the London Olympics and of any subsequent modifications once the removal be made permanent.
