Free shuttle service for bicycles opening under the Thames in London
Opening on 7 April, the Silvertown Tunnel is 1.4km long and will link Newham and the Greenwich Peninsula.
It will have two stops, one on each side of the river, with the north stop located on Seagull Lane close to Royal Victoria DLR station, and the south stop located on Millennium Way near the junction with Old School Close.
TfL says the Cycle Shuttle Service will be able to carry a wide range of cycles, including E-bikes (including Santander Cycles) but will not allow pedestrians without bicycles on the service.
Lorna Murphy, director of buses at TfL, said: "We have designed this service to support as many different cycle designs as possible within the physical space available, and we look forward to seeing Londoners using it once the Silvertown Tunnel opens."
The service will feature silver and blue branding to distinguish the vehicles from the regular bus network and will be free to use for the first year, will operate every 12 minutes every day from 06:30 to 21:30.
