Last PS Waverly trip on the Thames. Can’t wait for next year adventures. It is always interesting to see favorite places from the river.

Given the amount of traffic in #Thurrock this morning, I gather there’s issues with the #DartfordCrossing AGAIN! 🤦‍♂️

Paying for the privilege to sit in a traffic jam for 45 minutes feels like a very British thing. #dartfordcrossing

What a morning! 😩

Issues with #DartfordCrossing, so once again #Thurrock becomes a car park! 🤦🏼‍♂️

Colleagues at @cyclehavering.bsky.social are still following this up, but Highways England has moved the Essex pick up point for the #DartfordCrossing cycle service and at seems that this has left those of us on the western side of things and into Havering with no safe way of accessing it

At least we have #MagicFM, pillows, water, and a pack of pains au chocolate.

Blue lights have just gone past. Police I think #DartfordCrossing

Half way over Dartford Crossing and nothing is moving. Anyone know what's causing the hold up? #DartfordCrossing

Winds have dropped. QEII Bridge at Dartford Crossing has reopened. Traffic has started to move 🚗 🚛 🏍️

#StormDarragh #M25 #QEIIBridge #DartfordCrossing

A light rail tram proposal to cross the river Thames between Kent and Essex is gaining momentum. Seeking alternative ways to beat the congestion on the m25 for local trips. Watch a recent promo video youtu.be/MIqYCtMun70?... #tram #lightrail #thurrock #m25 #dartfordcrossing #ltc

So #Blackwalltunnel is closed #Dartfordcrossing is closed and some are saying #rotherhithetunnel is too. Stay in bed #Greenwich

No traffic at all at #dartfordcrossing #dartfordtunnel #qe2bridge #freeflowing

#DartfordCrossing Arrrgggghhhhh!
