Is that a train running on the High Level line???

 

[hash tag]

I think it's low level.

 

[spanglechick]

I think it's low level.

Aha. Was going to say, I didn’t think any of the tunnels had been opened, let alone any track remaining. (My house is about 50 ft from what used to be the signal box of the next station along).

Has that tram overshot the platform and crashed into the end of the line? It looks like it's in an odd position.

If it's high level you've got the scoop of the century.

fairly sharp curve to get under the road bridge - tram is heading north west. satellite view here

ETA - adding platforms for the tram was an afterthought - while the Croydon - Wimbledon bit of tramlink was originally railway, the two railway lines shared the same platforms at Mitcham Junction. Doing that with trams is generally not done. More here.

Those motors look immensely powerful ( & thirsty )

 

[teuchter]

I think they must be. They don't really get to use them until downstream of Central London. I always wonder how fuel consumption & emissions measure up to land based alternatives.

I've looked, I cannot find the fuel consumption
They use several different boats, with different drafts, capacities etc. Depending on which route they are on. Their consumption of fuel must be great.

I found this

London ferries produce pollution equivalent to hundreds of buses and trucks

Thames Clippers - Preparing for a new norm

In the TrAM H2020 project Thames Clippers is looking into electric operation to consider how to become greener and more operationally efficient in the future.

I was thinking, how many passengers would a bus carry in a day in comparison to a clipper and how much fuel do they use. Buses are much cleaner these days, many running on hydrogen. There is no comparison.
Apart from being filthy things, it's sad how under used the river is.

Comes down to London, ousts the locals, poisons the remaining locals with his toxic, polluting choice of transport. Well done.

Don't worry - I'm in an offsetting scheme with Spymaster who only travels by rowing boat meaning that I can tear up and down the river on powerboats as much as I like.
