A planned cable car across the River Thames to link 2012 Olympic
venues has been approved by Greenwich Council.

Thanks. IIRC the exact same scheme was also approved in the run up to
the Millennium Dome, so I'll believe it when I see it.

Yes, they're cutting it a bit fine, with both time and budget. However,
with Boris being a supporter, I suspect he may be able to get it done (I
guess London didn't have a mayor last time, plus the Dome was a central
government project, not a local effort). I wonder if he can lay his
hands on any Olympic subsidy?
