Silvertown Tunnel Cycle Shuttle Service Starts April 7, Free for One Year
This shuttle will carry many cycles. The vehicles have silver and blue colors, making them stand out from other buses. It gives cyclists a safe route to cross between Silvertown and North Greenwich.
The service will be zero-emission and runs every twelve minutes. It operates from 6:30 AM to 9:30 PM, seven days each week.
The shuttle lets cyclists use the tunnel, allowing them to safely cross the river. This special service has new branding and connects Silvertown and North Greenwich.
The bus carries standard cycles, tricycles, and folding cycles. Adaptive and cargo cycles are included. The “north” stop is on Seagull Lane, near the Royal Victoria DLR. The “south” stop is Millennium Way, near Old School Close.
People without cycles can’t use it; they can use other new bus routes such as the new SL4 Superloop. All cycles must fit size limits to ride. They can be 2.14 meters long, with a width limit of 0.76 meters and handlebars reaching 1.4 meters high. The total weight should be under 300 kg.
E-bikes are allowed on the shuttle. Santander Cycles and third-party hire bikes are okay too. Inside, two areas will store bikes, each holding four normal cycles. One area is for special cycles, and luggage racks store folded cycles and bags.
The bus lowers for easier boarding. A ramp gives step-free access also. Bus drivers don’t help with bikes. Testing made sure cycles fit and that it meets vehicle rules too.
They want to improve the service and will share things with other cities. The goal is to help all cyclists. The cycle-shuttle gives river passage so east London cyclists can cross safely. The service will help active travel, allowing many types of bikes to use it.
