Silvertown

The new Silvertown Tunnel is open - but who will pay to use it, and why is it controversial?

BBC London's transport correspondent was the first journalist into the tunnel before opening.

TfL reveals details of its cyclist shuttle service ahead of a new river crossing opening next month.

Low-income Londoners in boroughs near the tunnels are eligible for a 50% discount on the new toll.

The opening on 7 April means drivers using Silvertown Tunnel or Blackwall Tunnel will be charged.

The petition states the tolls at both tunnels "threaten to disrupt ordinary people's way of life".

A part-closure of the Blackwall Tunnel is taking place between 15 and 18 November.

Those against the introduction of tolls on the Silvertown and Blackwall tunnels say it would never happen in west London.
