Extension of London Cycle Hire (Boris Bike) docks at Vauxhall and Lambeth North

Just noticed that Lambeth have applied for planning permission to extend the London Cycle hire docks at Lambeth North and Vauxhall Station.

In Baylis Road (SE1), there are plans for an additional 46 docking points and another terminal: 10/04029/RG4 (is there room?) adjacent to Lambeth North tube station.

In Vauxhall (SE11), under the railway bridge that contains the existing bikes, permission has been requested for an additional 20 docking points and a new terminal:  10/03938/RG4

It sounds like good news, but I doubt that this will be sufficient to meet the demand at Vauxhall Station.  One step at a time though...

And I noticed today that the planning application for a dock of 32 bikes opposite the IMO on Albert Embankment has been approved! Fills in a gap in the network

All good news but the dock I use most is the one outside St George's Wharf and that is often empty/full at the busiest times.
