I remember seeing the candidate bridge schemes prior to the tunnel being selected and built. Bridges were no good then, why now?
Surely there's plenty of spare capacity in the tunnel, especially as it was in dire financial trouble not many years ago with poor passenger numbers and stiff competition.
Yes I can see there has been 21-22% growth in passenger numbers this last decade, but also an 18% drop in coaches and a massive 37% drop in freight train movements.
But I'll vote for a bridge if it includes a cycle superhighway and Boris bikes at either end.
