Different companies, of course. I suppose it wasn't posted here as
it's not really to do with transport in London -- it's just a tourism
thing.

Well, it is transport of a sort, in that it's a regular service that picks
you up in one place and deposits you in another, across the river. The
problem isn't about whether it's transport, just whether there isn't
already a better, if less scenic, way to cross the river in that area. The
Ducks are just a bus tour of central London including a short stretch in
the Thames.

With optional on board BBQ.

Obviously down to poor maintenance. If it was a design flaw it would have
happened decades ago given the age of those things.

Did anybody ever see "The IT Crowd" episode where Roy dates a woman,
whose parents died in a fire at Sea Parks?

This kind of reminds me of that, for some reason.

I suppose it could be something like an oil pipe fracture.

Could be a German tourist mini-submarine.
