Transport for London (TfL) has confirmed the launch of a cycle shuttle service to accompany the new Silvertown Tunnel, set to open on April 7. The 1.4km tunnel will provide a connection between Newham and the Greenwich Peninsula. The shuttle, which will offer free rides for the first year, is designed to accommodate a variety of bicycles, including e-bikes and rental cycles. Operating every 12 minutes, it will not permit pedestrian access and will have specific size and weight limits for bicycles. TfL emphasizes the importance of this integration for cyclists in London.
Lorna Murphy, director of buses at TfL, stated: "We have designed this service to support as many different cycle designs as possible within the physical space available, and we look forward to seeing Londoners using it once the Silvertown Tunnel opens."
Paul Lynch, managing director of Stagecoach London, mentioned: "This new bus service simply means that cyclists can also benefit from the important new transport link under the river, and we're pleased to be entrusted with providing it by TfL."
