So I suppose those buses seen on the ferry were running light.

Yes - MOT runs, garage transfers or possibly driver training. When I
used the ferry there was a single decker driver training bus waiting
for the ferry at Woolwich.

Do any bus routes go under or over the river by QEII Bridge or Blackwall
Tunnel or any Ferry?

The 108, from Stratford to Lewisham, goes through the Blackwall
Tunnel. It has to use single deckers because of the clearances in the
northbound tunnel.

Ensignbus's X81 uses the Dartford Crossing to run between Chafford
Hundred and Bluewater.

No bus services use ferries across the Thames.

In times past there was a minibus operated route through the
Rotherhithe Tunnel (P14 then 395) but TfL withdrew the 395 without
replacement. Width restrictions have been added since then which make
bus operation impossible through the Rotherhithe.

Others can add in the older history of LT bus operation through the
tunnels if they wish.

Perhaps what's needed is a heritage operation through the Rotherhithe tunnel
with RTs? :-)
