There was an advert in the Blackpool programme but it didn't say anything about closing the Woolwich Ferry.

    I heard the other day that the Woolwich Ferry has been privatised?

    So, in short - they're proposing moving the river crossing, not adding another one - despite the obvious and extremely dire need for it going back decades. You got to lurve the spin.

    3 options for new crossing proposed.

    1 expand Dartford tunnel
    2 new crossing at Bean
    3 crossing at Sheppey. Linking Maidstone all the way to M11 and Stansted airport

    I thought we were getting a second Blackwall tunnel and a new bridge as well?

    Only in this country... A ferry? in THE most populous and money filled corner of Western Europe. It's the 21st century FFS, build bridges/tunnels.

    3, with Stansted becoming the new 4/5 runway Superhub Airport for London and the South East would actually make a bit of sense, especially with the Paramount Park on the way too, but just because it makes sense to us doesn't mean it makes sense to the government

    I reckon Maidstone will end up as Capital City

    It's far and away the best option but also the most expensive so highly unlikely to happen, they'll just expand at Dartford
