An airfield at Lydd has been rebranded London Ashford, but currently has little traffic. In August 2009, Oxford Airport, some 95km from London's city centre, rebranded itself as London Oxford Airport, [73] while Kent International was briefly called London Manston; it is 120km from London. The London Cable Car is a cable car link across the River Thames. The service opened on 28 June 2012 and is operated by Transport for London (TfL). [84] In addition to transport across the river, the service advertises "a unique view of London". [85] Longhurst, Roly (1979). Electric Locomotives of the West Coast Main Line. Bradford Barton.

The London Buses network and its branded services, the Red Arrow and East London Transit systems are managed by TfL through its arms-length subsidiary company, London Buses Ltd. As a result of the privatisation of London bus services in the mid-1990s, bus operations in London are put out to competitive tendering; routes are operated by a number of private companies, while TfL sets the routes, frequencies, fares and types of vehicle used ( Greater London was exempted from the bus deregulation in Great Britain). Transport companies may bid to run London bus services for a fixed price for several years, with incentives and penalties in place to encourage good performance against certain criteria. [66] The tendering system is open to transport operators from a global market, with the result that some London bus services are now operated by international groups such as RATP Group, the state-owned operator of the Paris public transport system.

This success led to the operation of a number of other semi-orbital routes within the capital, over existing main-line routes and sections of the Inner Circle:Bordesley. An interchange station with the Snow Hill Lines could be built here, with the lower level serving the Snow Hill Lines and the upper level serving the new line. TransPennine Express provides services along the WCML between Manchester Airport or Liverpool Lime Street, and Glasgow or Edinburgh (alternating serving each every 2 hours). As much of the line has a maximum speed of 125mph (201km/h), it meets the European Union's definition of an upgraded high-speed line, [7] although only Class 390 Pendolinos and Class 221 Super Voyagers with tilting mechanisms operated by Avanti West Coast travel at that speed. Non-tilting trains are limited to 110mph (177km/h). [8] Geography [ edit ] The northern WCML as it weaves through the Lune Gorge in Cumbria alongside the M6

London King's Cross for the East Midlands, Yorkshire and the Humber, North East England and Scotland The River Thames is undeniably one of the most recognisable rivers anywhere in the world, and now thanks to highly ambitious environmental campaigns London can boast of being home to the cleanest river that flows through a major city (maybe you'll even spot a fish!). A 10-minute walk along the river and across Westminster Bridge takes visitors to the foot of the Houses of Parliament, headed up by majestic Big Ben. Westminster Abbey – the thousand-year-old church that serves as the setting for every Royal coronation – is just one minute’s walk from here.The following table shows the number of casualties, grouped by severity, on the roads of Greater London (including the City of London), over recent years.

It would have connected the extended North London Line, East London Line, the South London Line and the West London Line, possibly including the Gospel Oak to Barking Line. The combined line would have orbited London in Zone 2, Zone 3 and (possibly) Zone 4.It was thus very heavily used over its first 30 years on the Bluebell. Withdrawn in 1990, it is the boiler which now prevents this fine Victorian engine from steaming. It will probably require a complete new boiler barrel, and possibly new driving wheels and much other work before it can steam again. For nearly 3 decades it has been displayed, usually in the locomotive shed at Sheffield Park, again with the stove-pipe chimney in place. There are many Bluebell members and volunteers who want to see it steam again, but the large amount of work required, and its relatively low power, have mitigated against its overhaul over the last three decades. However, with a growing fleet of lightweight Victorian carriages now in service, it could once more perform a useful role, and following the announcement in the Autumn of 2023 that it is to be overhauled, hopefully it will not be too many more years before the locomotive can again be seen at work. It is planned for the locomotive to enter 'Atlantic House' and for fundraising and an initial examination to establish the scope of the overhaul to be started whilst 'Normandy' is overhauled.
