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.
