Default A foot and cycle bridge across Barking Creek as part of the DLR Dagenham Dock extension?

Bugger! I hadn't realised Barking Creek was in use by any ships. No
chance of a bike tunnel too, i suppose!


Why should the fact that it's a tunnel mean that a pedestrian/cycle
facility is ruled out? A third bore could be used for this acting
as an emergency evacuation route if ever necessary.


It doesn't, but the fact that the DLR extension has been canned means that
the tunnel has ben canned, and there's no way they are going to build a
tunnel just for bikes in the middle of nowhere.
