@londonassembly.bsky.social Looking for info on when the direct Lewisham-Stratford DLR trains will start again. Stopped in July to “coincide with school hols” for reduced disruption, but it’s late October now, they’re still off, and there’s been no news. Can you help? Thanks! #assemblytransport

Silvertown tunnel: Still abysmal for Greenwich pedestrians and cyclists before opening? - Murky Depths
With days until the Silvertown tunnel is set to open are things any better for cyclists heading to the bike bus or pedestrians crossing?

Google Streetview has been updated to Oct 2024 in parts of SE London like Woolwich and Thamesmead if you fancy a nose around all the recent changes.
Woolwich's many developments on there such as Berkeley riverside towers, Morris Walk estate rebuild, student block in Woolwich etc.

GREAT QUESTION.
Woke up wondering about historic civil projects I would most like to have been involved in. Maybe the national roll out of postcodes in the UK, or the construction of a nice Roman aqueduct. HBU?
