Given that access to the exit to Silvertown will be swiftly blocked, can you please estimate the length of queue after Blackwall is blocked for six minutes, with Silvertown open, in similar traffic conditions to those used in the estimate above? How much shorter than 3 miles will it be?

Re my question 2024/0526: You say TfL's sensitivity testing covered different values of time - but the 2018 MTS did not change the value of time - what it did do - at least if the targets within it for motor traffic reduction were hit - should have been to make very significant changes to forecasts for traffic and congestion - which in turn changes the amount of time potentially saved by any scheme that is claimed to reduce congestion. i) Why did you not re-evaluate the scheme according to these revised traffic forecasts prior to signing the contract? ii)...

Why then have you reduced the promised bus service through Silvertown by more than half from 31.5 buses/hour to 14 buses/hour - just 2 new bus routes?

Re my question 2024/0527: You state: 'The Silvertown Tunnel scheme, including the user charge and new zero emission bus network, has been designed to ensure that there is no material impact in the number of vehicle trips across the river.' Can you please confirm that this is in fact incorrect, and that opening the Silvertown Tunnel, whether or not it is tolled, and whether or not zero emission buses are used, always substantially increases cross-river traffic, and local pollution, and carbon emissions, compared to an otherwise identical situation in which Silvertown is not opened to general traffic?
