#515: Thames Clippers

Video Number: 515.
Recorded: 05 JAN 2011.
Released: 08 JAN 2011.

Location:
The River Thames in London, UK.

Description:
Something a little different to my usual videos for this upload. Here we see the journey on a Thames Clippers river bus service from London Eye Pier to Bankside Pier, which was filed as part of my journey from Embankment Pier to London Bridge Pier on January 5th 2011 before my hospital appointment. I have never been on a boat before and I must say I rather enjoyed it! These boats, operated by Thames Clippers, run about every 20 minutes throughout the day transporting commuters up and down the river Thames in London. Also a point for you rail people out there - This boat ride and this video provides an interesting angle to the work taking place at Blackfrias railway station on the Thameslink route!

@mappman1000 Lol. Unfortunately not, but if you present your Travelcard you get a third off, making a single to any destination £3.55. Thanks for commenting, Will :)
