It really shouldn’t take awesome local campaigners like @escalatenow.bsky.social to provide updates on the lifts for people wanting to cross the river east of Tower Bridge on foot or wheeling bikes.
TfL need to pick up the foot tunnels as strategic river crossings and make the lifts reliable.

The drudgery for local residents continues with both lifts broken despite engineers being on site last week and yesterday. They didn’t even bother to update travel info so it’s left to locals to provide live info including Andrea’s initiative greenwichlifts.co.uk. TfL has the clout to change this.

✏️ I’ve written to Transport for London about the Silvertown Tunnel cycle shuttle.
It’s not empty, but the real issue is the lack of safe, direct cycle routes to and from it.
TfL promised better access, but people cycling still face long detours, poor signage and unsafe junctions.

The shuttle bus is clearly an after thought and exposes the lack of consideration given to people wanting to get across the river by bike.
