Yesterday morning on LBC radio Ken Livingstone said he took this
decision based on advice by the police that there had been an increase
in the number of people trying to overtake in the tunnel when the
contra-flow was in operation and that there is a current directive to
end two-way working in road tunnels. When subsequently quizzed about
the Rotherhithe Tunnel (which has permanent two-way working) he said
he may have to do the same there if he is advised to do so.

Where will this end? Is he going to stop two way working on single
carriageway roads?!?!
