works at Beckton.


The last iteration of the plan decided a tunnel was the preferred
option, due to the height of the bridge required by shipping
regulations.


Bugger! I hadn't realised Barking Creek was in use by any ships. No
chance of a bike tunnel too, i suppose!


How about a hand-wound transporter bridge hanging from the fixed bar of the
flood barrier?
