The cable car would cross the river at a height of over 50 metres, similar to that of the Dome offering spectacular aerial views of the Olympic Park. The cable car could provide a crossing every 30 seconds carrying up to 2,500 passengers per hour in each direction, equivalent to the capacity of 50 buses or just over 1.5 central line trains per hour. The scheme is currently subject to a public consultation exercise. It is planned that the cable car will also be able to convey bicycles and that passengers will be able to use Oyster Cards to pay for their journeys.
