Most of my work is based in Leyton, Leytonstone, Walthamstow and Chingford.
If I was more Leyton way I’d come in from Greenhithe via Blackwall, partially for timing but also saves my company I work for the toll fee. Now I have to go Dartford which incidentally seems to be slightly busier in the mornings but noticeably busier of an evening.
I’ve been toying with giving the Ferry an occasion go but seeing this has made me realise that’s a bad idea.
As I work beside the Ferry, it’s been really noticeable that the traffic levels have increased to a level I haven in many years. They start to queue around 5:45 each morning and basically it’s a heavy constant flow of traffic until it shuts. It gone back to blocking the roundabout most days again and it’s only since the payments came into force.

How about they start charging people in west London for using all the bridges they have over that way, instead of loading all tolls on the east side of London. Perhaps then they could maintain a few of them properly as well and keep them open 🤷🏻♂️

@masicat Two unfinished posts in one post. Is "(on) the Woolwich ferry" the missing words in both??

Drivers turn to ferry to avoid new tunnel tolls
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cy75rxjp0m0oThe new ferries load and unload much quicker than the old boats.
They only seem to have problems when the tide is very high.
I do wonder what politicians do all day. Not a brain cell between them.
