Broadcaster Jeremy Vine has hit out at a waste collection company after he filmed a lorry appearing to drive the wrong way down a cycle lane for the second time in three months.

In a video posted to X, formerly Twitter, on Monday (October 16), Vine can be seen on his bike in Camden’s Tavistock Place cycle lane.

The footage appears to show a Veolia bin lorry parked directly in front of him.

As the lorry emerges onto screen, a caption reads: “Bin operators do a hard job with great dedication and I respect them, but don’t park in cycle lanes.”

Vine can then be heard saying: “And now I have to go out into oncoming traffic here.”

As he then moves into the road to navigate around the bin lorry, three bin men can be seen collecting rubbish.

Vine tells them: “Guys you can’t park in a cycle lane, I’m really sorry. People have to pull round you and they could get hit here.”

He later adds: “Listen, I love you guys but really come on, please. It’s not safe.”

Towards the end of the video, a caption reads: “This is on you Veolia.”

Vine’s encounter with a Veolia bin lorry in the Tavistock Place cycle lane is not his first.

At the beginning of August, he posted a similar video to X, which also appeared to show the cycle lane blocked by refuse collectors.

A Camden Council spokesperson said yesterday (October 18): “We are clear that cycle lanes must not be used or obstructed by vehicles and we are working with Veolia to ensure that our waste and recycling vehicles follow their set routes at all times and that drivers understand the importance of keeping cycle lanes clear.

"Where cycle lanes are repeatedly being obstructed by lorries, vans and other vehicles we will seek to add additional road safety measures that keep our cycle lanes clear and all road users safe.”

In August, Veolia released a statement about the first incident, appearing to side with Vine.

A Veolia spokesperson said yesterday: "We continue to work closely with Camden Council and their highways team to determine best practice that keeps all road users and our frontline teams safe when collecting along busy roads with cycle lanes.

"Health and safety is paramount to the work we do and we want to ensure the crew have limited contact with both cyclists and vehicles.

"We apologise for any inconvenience caused as we develop the safest course of action."
