The lifts did go through a period of bad reliability. They're better now though never 100% reliable. Both tunnels' lift and stairs are pretty similar though I think the Woolwich one is less deep, certainly not like the 100 steps in the Greenwich one.Is the Woolwich foot tunnel the same design as the Greenwich tunnel? When I was a regular user of the Greenwich tunnel the lifts were persistently unreliable so lugging the recumbent up or down the stairs was routine. Not great, but doable.
IMO the advantages of using the foot tunnels outweigh the occasional inconvenience of lift unreliability. It wouldn't stop me from using them, especially if it gave me independence from a rail or ferry crossing, which locks you to their schedule and adds far greater inconvenience.The lifts did go through a period of bad reliability.

I didn't find this, we used it after the Freecycle last year and were forced to carry the bikes downstairs, stand around with the peeps and then carry them back up afterwards. Was a pain in the butt to be honest.The Woolwich Ferry is very cycle friendly too. They always let bikes on and off the boats before the cars.
How odd. Did you line up in front of the cars? Sounds like you went with the pedestrians. I've used the ferry many, many times and never had a bad experience.I didn't find this, we used it after the Freecycle last year and were forced to carry the bikes downstairs, stand around with the peeps and then carry them back up afterwards.

I think that may have been our mistake, it was a busy day for cars though, there's a possibility we were 'directed' that way.How odd. Did you line up in front of the cars? Sounds like you went with the pedestrians. I've used the ferry many, many times and never had a bad experience.
No service across at Dartford between 9.00 and 10.30 (am and pm) or between 2 and 3 (am and pm). Other than that, it's on demand with waiting time anything from one minute, to half an hour depending on how busy they are.But depends what time you get there as now it's to a set timetable. Out of time and you will have a 2 hour wait.
