Default London Cable Car Opens




http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2012/ju...r-opens-thames
Video on here



"Britain's first urban cable car has begun ferrying passengers across the Thames after Boris Johnson launched it by declaring that his first trip made him feel like the Russian cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin.
The £60m system was paid for with £36m from the Dubai-owned airline Emirates, giving it naming rights for 10 years, including placing its brand name on the London Underground map. A further £8m came from the European Regeneration and Development Fund, which the London mayor joked was a better use of money than Brussels paying off the Greek debt."



Great ride over the Thames.
