An impact of the increased traffic and resulting congestion from the September 2025 DSEI arms fair at ExCel London, was that bus drivers for the Silvertown Road Tunnel cross-river cycle-shuttle were unable to park at the City Hall end. This then affected their ability to use the toilets they have access to there, meaning drivers had to wait to use the toilets at the other end of the route. What measures did you take to assess how additional vehicles relating to the arms fair around ExCel would impact the Silvertown Road Tunnel cross-river cycle-shuttle and bus driver shifts?

We are confident this will bring back resilience...
