It’s not marked as motorway on the map but it’s been a while since I’ve been over it so I don’t know if it’s a special road. If the authorities had any sense of duty then they run a minibus service for cyclists and pedestrians like the Dartford Crossing.
The Dartford Crossing bike service has been reduced to operate only 19 hours out of every 24.
It used to be a 24 hr service.
The reason given for this is to make the service better suited to cyclists needs.
Yes, really.
Time it wrong and you can look forward to a wait of as much as 1.5 hrs before the service resumes.
In reality someone wanting to cross from the opposite side to that which you are on, would probably end up waiting longer if you turn up 15 minutes before service suspension. The reason given by the service provider (
sic) is that they cannot take you and your bike to the other side and return in the time before service suspension commences.
