Pre-registration now open for Silvertown and Blackwall tunnel user charges

Pre-registration is now open for discounts on Silvertown and Blackwall Tunnel charges for low-income residents, local businesses, and charities, ahead of the tunnel's opening on 7 April. Eligible residents in 12 east London boroughs and the City of London can register for discounts on certain benefits. Small businesses, sole traders, and charities in Newham, Greenwich, and Tower Hamlets can also register for a £1 discount on the standard off-peak charge for up to three vehicles. These discounts are separate from the off-peak discount available via TfL Auto Pay. All drivers are encouraged to register for TfL Auto Pay to benefit from off-peak charges starting 7 April.

Extending the DLR to Beckton Riverside and Thamesmead 

We're considering to extend the DLR to Beckton Riverside and Thamesmead. This extension will significantly enhance transport connections and pave the way for the construction of up to 30,000 new homes along the route.

Local Implementation Plan (LIP)

The LIP is produced by the Royal Borough of Greenwich and agreed with us. It sets out the details on transport infrastructure changes in a three-year period to support the Mayor's Transport Strategy.
