I heard something on the news that AEG, new owners of the Millenium
Dome have bought a big share in the Thames Clipper service and are
looking to buy six new boats next year to expand the service. Anyone
know any more detail?

I wonder if this means theyll use the pier at the Dome as a stop on the
Woolwich service?

This weeks 'The Wharf' has the story - http://tinyurl.com/gxmgp

However the story also says that at present there's no ferry pier
serving the Dome. Have they taken away the one that was put in for the
Millennium then?


Ok - this weeks Wharf has a follow-up to this story:

"HERE'S no pressure to build a new pier at the Dome - because there's
already one there.

The unused Millennium Pier at North Greenwich is to be reopened next
summer to serve an expanded Thames Clippers ferry service."

And

"The company is negotiating with Transport for London to get the
service included in the Oyster card scheme, although no agreement has
yet been reached."
