Incidentally, on the shot here

you can see that the Rotherhithe Tunnel Southern Approach has its
own bridge over the East London Line.


Incidentally no. 2...

When you're coming out of the tunnel at the Rotherhithe end, the
road splits into 3 lanes just before the roundabout , and the right
one is bizarrely marked "ROTH TUN'L". I imagine this is supposed to
say "ROTH STN" or some such.


It says "ROTH HTHE" (= Rotherhithe). It's easier to see on Google
Earth.


I'm usually in one of the other lanes, but today I deliberately used this
lane. It says "ROTH HITHE". I'm not sure how I got it so wrong before.
