Woolwich Foot Tunnel appreciation society.

Is the woolwich foot tunnel open as normal currently ? i take it that it is open 24hrs a day.

Yep I think so. Went through it a couple of weeks ago at around 10pm

Was def open monday daytime. Not sure if both lifts are though.

the lifts were working last time I went through it - good job too, I had my 7 yr old and a tandem!

Greenwich is a different matter though - north lift has been out of action for a while

Edit: corrected below......

I was at Greenwich last Sunday and both lifts working fine.

Woolwich foot tunnel is opened 24/7.

I think on Tuesday evening they have a tunnel cleaning and maintenance session but the rest of the time it’s fine. It’s a lot quieter than the Greenwich foot tunnel but the lifts are not as glamours as the Greenwich or large ones. At least it’s working though.

thanks everyone
all the websites just give details of the greenwich one much less info about woolwich

i'll change the title of the thread to the woolwich foot tunnel appreciation thread tomorrow so we can have a general thread about it

Much needed

I discovered woolwich tunnel and ferry when I moved to East Ham, with rides to Greenwich during early days of lockdown and furlough over the summer. Done that journey a few times but never at night. But really appreciate the link it gives to south side.

It is great at night, and a brilliant ferry journey.

Woolwich is the superior foot tunnel. Except for the lifts, which always smell of piss.

I guess I should stop pissing in the lifts

Lies, sometimes it's covered by the smell of sweat.

I remember when the lifts were being whatevered and having to carry bikes up the stairs.
