Just so you know, quote from Highway Code:
“Do not ride across a pelican, puffin or zebra crossing. Dismount and wheel your cycle across.”

Oftentimes they have a thingy on the traffic lights to detect oncoming vehicles and decide if the vehicles are still between the traffic lights to do the traffic light control – these often don’t work for bikes. Maybe this is the issue?
A fixed Route 544 would be better – no roundabouts or pedestrians to negotiate and direct access to campus. It would also be nicer for leisure cyclists – no big lorries coming past and better access to the Ridgeway and the downs. It may work out cheaper as well as most of the infrastructure is already in place (using existing C roads).
So I think fixed Route 544 should receive higher priority.
