If Zack wins, Burnham will be forced to deliver on his promises for water nationalisation, and he'll have to scrap North Sea drilling. Holborn and St Pancras, #BackZack!

“Developers have been quick to market Deptford’s proximity to the creek as "luxury riverside living", whilst the actual experience for residents at street level is one of near exclusion”.

Wasteful indeed. TfL go on to say: 'to maximise opportunities provided by the cycle shuttle service, we are currently exploring the opportunity to allow pedestrians to use the service'. This bus stop is inaccessible.

Silvertown tunnel yearly report. It’s good to see all new bus services are zero emission at the tail pipe, but a lot more to look at such as the bike bus with only 100 -130 users a day, averaging only one bike & cyclist per bus. Why not repurpose a tunnel bore? #ActiveTravel #cargobikes #cyclists
TfL report on SilverTown Tunnel: Public and active transport
“We aim to improve cross-river journey opportunities by bus and cycling as well as other local journeys
Project objectives
PO3: to support economic and population growth, in particular in east and southeast London by providing improved cross-river transport links.
The Silvertown and Blackwall Tunnel bus network increased the frequency of services across the river from six to 2l services per hour at the busiest times between 07:00 and 19:00 Monday to Friday. This included double-deck buses for the first time, with all the new services being zero-emission at the tailpipe. All routes also benefit from new bus priority measures, which enable quicker journeys to North Greenwich bus station via dedicated slip roads for buses. Between 7 April 2025 and 26 May 2026, all journeys on buses in the new bus network were free.
Silvertown and Blackwall Tunnel bus network
The opening of the Silvertown Tunnel has enabled us to introduce a significantly enhanced higher capacity and increased frequency cross-river bus network in east London. The Victorian era northbound
Blackwall Tunnel could not be used by double-deck buses and was also a persistent source of congestion linked to overheight vehicle incidents which caused hundreds of unplanned closures each year.
This led to unreliable journeys times on route 108, the only bus service to cross the river in this area, as well as for commuter coaches linking Kent and London”. A white chart with purple columns

The government’s action on illegal Israeli settlements is long overdue, but action must go much further. The UK must stop supplying arms to Israel, including F-35 components, and end its complicity in the genocide.

ULEZ was never a crack down on people driving, always a push for better respiratory health. 🚗 💨 “Examinations of London schoolchildren before and after the introduction of the city’s ultra-low emission zone (Ulez) found a restoration of lung capacity […] stunted by exposure to pollution”.

I contacted TfL who told me stoppages were associated with 'bedding in' and that escalators are routinely reversed to ensure 'up' escalators are functioning. In my experience it’s been one down escalator that’s been out of action. However, there was one exception when 2 were out!
