伦敦东区跨河缆车计划推出~
by Jill Clark. Monday, 07 July 2008
A network of ski-resort style cable cars over the Thames was today being considered by London mayor Boris Johnson.
Commuters would be carried from the O2 arena in Greenwich to the skyscrapers of Canary Wharf and possibly to the site of the 2012 Olympics, under a blueprint from Lord Rogers, the mayor’s architecture adviser.
Eight river crossings are being proposed to help cope with development in east London.
One concept would see cable cars “docking” inside a skyscraper in Canary Wharf.
The cable cars would be a cheaper alternative than building conventional crossings, such as bridges which would need to be high or have hydraulic lifting systems to allow large boats to pass.
Mike Davies, director of Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners (RSHP), said: “East of Tower Bridge, the river is a complete barrier.
“For the communities on either side, they might as well be staring across the English Channel to France. If designed properly, the cable cars would add to the skyline – you’d just see two elegant pylons and a string of pods floating in the air.”
The cable-car system would cost one-third of an alternative cycle and pedestrian crossing that is being studied by Transport for London, RSHP claims.
It would also be a greener option than a previously proposed £500m six-lane Thames Gateway road bridge.
The cable network would transport 10,000 people across the river every hour, with pods arriving every 22 seconds. The crossing would take just two minutes.
Davies added: “Imagine flying over the river from the Dome towards the skyscrapers in Canary Wharf. It would be the most fantastic ride.”
The cable car proposal is supported by the Campaign for Better Transport (CBT), calling it an “imaginative” and greener option. 翻译 翻译.. [img]http://www.thelondonpaper.com/cs/Satellite?blobcol=urldata&blobkey=id&blobtable=MungoBlobs&blobwhere=1157302217713&ssbinary=true[/img]

伦敦打算建造横渡泰晤士河的缆车网络
Londonpaper记者 Jill Clark. 星期一. 2008年7月7日
伦敦市长布里斯·约翰森今日审阅了横跨泰晤士河的滑雪式缆车网络的计划。
根据市长的建筑顾问罗德·罗哲发布的蓝图，通勤客将从格林威治的O2圆形剧场(即以前的千禧宫，Daniel注)运载到加拿利码头的摩天大楼处，甚至可能到达2012年的奥林匹克场地。
为配合东伦敦的发展，提出了8条泰晤士河横跨方案。
其中的一个更将缆车“停泊”于加拿利码头的一座大厦中。
相对于传统的横跨方案，缆车将成为一个更廉价的替换方案。而前者中的桥梁则需要一定的通航高度或者升桥设备以供大型船舶通行。
罗哲·斯瑞克·哈伯及合伙人(RSHP)的董事迈克·大卫说：“在伦敦塔桥以东，泰晤士河完全就是一个壕沟。在河岸边上的通勤客，他们就如要横跨英吉利海峡去法国一般。如果设计得当，缆车将成为天际线的一部分，你将会看到两座优雅的支撑塔以及一长串漂浮在空中的车厢。”
RSHP表示，相比由伦敦交通局研究过自行车和步行横跨系统，缆车系统的造价仅是前者的的三分一。
相比之前建议的5亿磅造价的六车道泰晤士河城门公路大桥，缆车网络将是一个更为绿色的选择。
缆车网络每一小时将能运输1万人横渡泰晤士河，车厢的到站频率为22秒。整个过程只需两分钟。
大卫还说到：“想象一下，从穹顶(指千禧宫，亦前所谓的O2圆形剧场，Daniel注)飞越泰晤士河到达加拿利码头的摩天大楼。这将会是美妙的旅程。”
这个缆车系统计划由“更佳交通运动”(CBT)建议。谓之为一个“充满想象力”和绿色的选择。 报纸上还带了这个图~
