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. |

£2:20 Child Oyster £3:20 Adult £1:60 Child So the Fares are Good Priced. In Rush Hour it goes faster. Last edited by arista; 28-06-2012 at 05:44 PM. |

It looks great. There are no bridges over that side of London, and as for the Blackwall Tunnel....
Fares are very reasonable actually, although it isn't a long journey. |

A new "future commercial partner" is expected to be announced later in the summer, TfL's Josh Compton said. However, until then TfL will have to bear the cost of the cable car as it continues in operation. you really should read the links you post Arista Seems someone messed up and didn't renew the contract in time or look for an alternative in good time
