Default Woolwich ferry to be upgraded this year

HOWEVER, has anyone here seen those ferries operated by one old geezer? Normally over a tiny, thin stretch of some stream or rivulet. And sometimes the ferry hasn't even got an engine: the guy pulls it across via the agency of a strong metal wire. THAT must be dull. There is no crew rotation there.


Well the chain ferry at Symonds Yat certainly has crew rotation - it's
crewed by whomever is working the bar at the Saracen's Head pub that
isn't busy right then....
