At last, the Dangleway might get some customers!


Doesn't the sponsorship deal come to an end soon? If in need of something
to cut, I would have expected that to be a prime candidate.

Of course, scrapping it wouldn't be popular with the PM...

(I wouldn't be surprised if it gets cut when they can't find a new sponsor.
Or sold off to be a tourist trap)


Yes, the latter would be the right thing to do. It's a sightseeing trip, much the same as walking over the roof of the
O2, or doing a circuit on the London Eye. It's not public transport, and shouldn't be subsidised or promoted by TfL, any
more than the open top sightseeing buses are.
