"Air Line" (Thames Cable Car) construction works
Port of London Authority:
"On the weekend of the 10th and 11th March 2012 the rigging of cables across the river between the North and South Towers will be undertaken by contractors; working on behalf of The Docklands Light Railway. This work continues the GLA project to erect a Cable Car across Bugsbys Reach in the vicinity of Blackwall Point." What have the Docklands Light Railway got to do with this? Serco operating the "Air Line" for Emirates/TFL? The 2 page PDF Notice to Mariners issued by the PLA detailing closures of the river to traffic (with timings) is he http://tinyurl.com/79jwrwu or http://www.pla.co.uk/notice2mariners...of_Cables1.pdf |

What about the RAIB if it goes pear shaped? It crosses the London City Airport flight path so I was told. |

Have they said when the first fight-on-the-roof-of-a-cable-car will
happen. I'd like to see that. Not first-hand, though. |

Bugsby's who what where when how why?? "Bugsby's Marshes This tidal mudflat, where bodies of executed pirates were hung in cages, may have been named after a New World Buccaneer. Like much of the Thames’ riverbank, it was a mosquito-ridden hellhole before being drained by Dutch engineers in 1625. Later the site chosen for the Millennium Dome, it is now home to the O2 Arena." [http://www.darkwaters.org.uk/piers/q...2-history.php] No, I can't find anything about Mr Bugsby either. |
