However, apart from the safety implications, the sight of a vehicle 8ft 2.5 inches wide coming at a driver from the other direction would be somewhat intimidating! When it was RT operated these were only 7.5 ft wide, and only 27.5 ft long, NOT over 10 metres! |

New ensign D/D that got lost on a DLR rail replacement hit the blackwell tunel and it was closed for 3 hours and jubl line buses were going via tower bridge what a day lol I cant believe a bus tried to use the northbound tunnel  . How many warnings are there on the approach, not to mention the automatic sign which says "overheight vehicle divert". The route learning for these rail replacements seem to be minimal. |
