Apparently not. It now looks like the bridge will get canned, after £38m
has been spent before any actual construction work. Apparently Boris
is the only cabinet minister in favour, and there's no enthusiasm in
City Hall.

So this is another Boris project that's hit the skids, after his estuary
airport (no support, Heathrow expansion now more likely), cable car
(still running, but little used) and new Routemaster bus (no more open
platforms, no more to be ordered). His only legacy might be the
cycling stuff.

I was on a Borisbus at the weekend, in the heatwave. The lack of windows
made for a rather unpleasant ride.

You've only just noticed?

They're not nicknamed Roastmasters for nothing.
I was on one a few years ago, though I thought that they would have
installed windows that open by now.

What's with the exhaust on them, BTW? Somehow I was under the impression
that it may not have properly vented.
