request - my understanding is that we have the House of Lords to thank for
that, as they inserted a clause in the legislation to that effect. I am
curious as to whether there are actually any regular cycle commuters that
make use of the Dartford Crossing?
I've crossed once on a bike, North to South, and can recommend the service
which was prompt and very friendly. IIRC the person that took us across
said there were 40 or 50 bikes a day and it did include a couple of
regular commuters.
