Silvertown Tunnel Increases Network Resilience But It Comes At A Cost, Says Logistics UK

The title of this post, is the same as that of this article on UK Haulier.

This paragraph summarises the view of Chris Yarsley of Logistics UK.

Following the opening of the Silvertown tunnel in London, Logistics UK Senior Policy Manager – Road Freight Regulation Chris Yarsley says it will increase network resilience and make journey times more predictable, but feels the high toll charges penalise essential delivery vehicles who have no alternative means of servicing the capital.

Note.

  1. I have been through the Silvertown Tunnel a number of times now and I have only seen one  large truck and a couple of vans in the tunnel.
  2. I have also seen no congestion at any of the entrances to the tunnels.

It certainly seems to have been well-designed.
