Greenwich foot tunnel?

The tunnel is 2.7m wide and if you have a cyclist coming each way and a ped coming each way they won't all fit

If width is the criteria 2 peds and 2 peds pushing bicycles would be wider.

If every cyclist pushed all the way, the space would be fuller overall.

The only injury I have ever suffered whilst cycling through the tunnel was when a pedestrian cnut deliberately pushed me off my bike.

I agree with @Señor_Bear - I use Woolwich tunnel fairly frequently and there's just no need to cycle down there.

^ This.

I was passed by a cycling cyclist in the tunnel and he spat - twice !

If only there was a way that could have been avoided for you.

It takes two minutes to walk it, there is literally no excuse for riding in the tunnel.

The tunnels are underwater pavements and we don't cycle on pavements do we ?

yeah with NO riding crew but a friend of mine rides if there is no1 in the tunnel (off peak)

Also I initially though Dov was saying no walking bikes either, almost shat on his BMW bonnet.

lets go back to issue at hand, why the fuck arent lifts working? why is greenwich removing LTNs?

Suspect Lewisham will do the same.

You gotta feel for the people who have their traffic 10x overnight from LTNs popping up around them.

Go down Croxted Rd any weekday morning now. It’s bumper to bumper.

We do when someone arbitrarily paints a bicycle symbol on them and declares them ‘shared use’.

we have a consultation on at the moment, really hope they dont :(

The lift operators had it right: be a dick, and you're walking up the stairs; ride slowly or scoot, give way to pedestrians or walk when it's busy, and you're fine to get in the lift.

Yes. I remember.

Courteous cycling permitted - pedestrians have priority - Now that is a great idea but the problem is a society of fuck you you can't stop me. So we make laws for the lowest common denominator.

I used to use the tunnel, with no lifts, and cycled when there was no one else in the tunnel, if there was someone there I pushed the bike.

If you work deliveroo/uber eats in the cutty sark area there are often orders that require you to cross the river (or at least they did) - there's only so many you can decline on a shift...

Amazingly, the lifts are still out of action, which won't be news to regular users, but I hadn't been through there for a while before this week.

It's not really amazing, it's Greenwich council.

Next time you're there, stand in Cutty Sark Gardens and ask yourself 'is this what a world heritage site is supposed to be like'?

Greenwich council are blaming brexit as the parts are coming from Germany.

Choice words.

Probably Schindler's lift

Greenwich council are blaming brexit as the parts are coming from Germany.

I reckon there are engineering firms in Charlton that could fabricate any part they could possibly need. It's a lift, not a space shuttle.

It's not a question of replicating a part, it's a question of would the insurance company allow that part to be used on the lift.

And they won't.

That might be what the Council are saying but that’s not how it works
