It can't be anything but good news that there is to be investment in the Thames' London piers, building on recent increased use. Passenegr numbers are up 25 percent over the past five years, and that could be thanks to the Thames Pageant -- though the figures may have been more like 50 per cent if the weather had been better and the BBC had not produced such crass coverage.
£10million has been allocated by Transport for London to imprive services and instal three new piers. Plantation Wharf, between Wandsworth and Battersea bridge, near Clapham Junction station (newly joined to the Overland outer circle), will open latter this year. Piers at Battersea Power station and at Enderby Wharf on the Greenwich Peninsula, where the new passenger liner terminal is being built, have been given the go-ahead.
