The queues were already an issue before the Blackwall toll.
I think you overestimate the capacity these two have and underestimate the impact they have on the local area.
You're totally right. My bad.
I think we shall have to wait and see what negative effects arise but I would say two things. Firstly, that the increase in uptake of bus journeys is a net good and secondly what a pleasure it has been to debate a subject like transport infrastructure, without hyperbole, and with someone who has both a personal interest and specific knowledge of the subject at hand. I'm having a little turn-of-the-century-style-internet moment.
I've enjoyed having this discussion with you too.
Cheers matey 👍
