London Cable Car May Go Ahead

Andy Roberts — Tue, 09 Nov 2010 14:10:17 +0000

Planning applications for a new London cable car crossing over the Thames linking 2012 Olympic venues in east London have been submitted by Transport for London. TfL has submitted the plans to both Newham and Greenwich borough councils proposing that a London Cable Car station be built a few hundred metres from the O2 arena. The scheme, which it is hoped will be in operation by 2012, is designed to cut journey times between the arena and the ExCel exhibition centre – both of which will be venues for the 2012 London Olympic Games.

London Cable Car May Go Ahead

No Weekend Engineering Works

Such is the routine nature of weekend engineering works ruining any prospect of going out around London on the public transport system that when they have a rare weekend without any engineering works on this particular line, National Express to Liverpool Street Station, they need to make a poster about it in order to remind people that there might just be some transport available.

Otherwise everybody would just assume that weekend trips are more trouble than they are worth and stay at home.

Of course once you get into Liverpool St Station on one of these rare weekend trains, there’s no guarantee that the onward journey will be as smooth. The Circle line, District and Hammersmith and City lines are likely to be severely disrupted or not running at all so that leaves the Central Line or “London Sauna” as better described.

It is possible to walk past or even inside this supermarket many times before noticing that it occupies a grand old London Fire Brigade building, opposite Liverpool St Station.

Central London is deserted, traffic is the quietest since diana’s funeral. Trains are empty too. Then, as I leave Manor Park Station, I see a huge celebration spilling out from the Portuguese cafe. Thanks for subscribing to Andy Roberts blogBreaking … Continue reading →
